a/n. | i know i havenât updated in a while iâm really sorry!! please enjoy and donât forget to reblog!
âDoll, please calm down. Youâre scaring me,â Steve begged, sitting on the bed. âHow can I calm down, Steve? Huh? You only just came back, and now youâre going away again,â you spat, crossing your arms. Your stance was almost adorable, but Steve knew that if he made a comment, heâd just push you further away. He couldnât let that happen. âWhy canât you ask for a vacation, Stevie? We havenât done anything romantic since my birthday, and that was six months ago.â You turned your back to Steve, and he sighed.
âIâm sorry, Doll, but I have to go save the world,â he solemnly told you. His voice carried a faux sadness that shouldnât even be there in the first place. âBullshit, you have so many more people to do it. Sam, Wanda, Tonyâdonât lie, Steve. Why are you going to Sydney? Thereâs no way you have to travel to another continent to mess up some sort of drug deal. Isnât that what the police are for?â you questioned him.
Tears stung your eyes. They were ones of anger, but you couldnât lie. In the midst of them, were sad ones ready to leak, too. Steve stayed silent. âFor fucks sake, Steve, you canât even give me an answer?â you asked in disbelief. You gasped as the tears began to fall. âI knew it, I knew it the whole time,â you whispered under your breath. âKnew what?â he asked, walking up to you. You backed up into the corner of the room.
âThat youâre cheating on me,â you mumbled quietly. âWhat? Babyâ no, listen.â He paused to take a deep breath, meant to calm his nerves down. âI donât want to hear anything, Steve. I know about you and Natasha. All those trips? Those text messages? God, the only person I feel bad for is myself. How could I be so blind to it all?â you shook your head as you spoke. You walked around Steveâs strong figure and headed towards the door. âWhere are you going?â He called out, following you behind.
âFor some fresh air, I canât handle this,â you yelled back, but Steve only sped his steps up. âYouâre not leaving me, Doll,â he growled, stepping in front of you. âI never said I was, but now youâre tempting me,â you snapped back. âYouâre not leaving me, Doll. You never can.â Steve gripped your shoulders tightly, and you winced in pain. âEven if you did, Iâll go to the ends of the Earth to get you back.â
Your eyes shot open. Gasping, you struggled to catch your breath. Your heart pumped like no tomorrow. Each time your chest raised to the highest point, you felt like you had a heart attack. You fell back onto your pillow, and you couldn't care enough about the slightly painful thud that came with it. Nightmares were never pleasant. Though they give amazing writing inspiration, they still were not nice.
Unfortunately, your nights seemed to be filled with them. Every time you fell asleep for the past week, youâd wake up in a panicky mode. At that point, you were okay with settling for a weird dream that resembled surrealistic art. Who wouldnât want to have a Dali-inspired dream? You rubbed your eyes roughly and could feel the exhaustion in your every movement.
Your phone rang loudly. The sound made you jump in shock, and you reached to your bedside table for it. The screen read Buckyâs name, and you sighed. You answered the phone and brought it to your ear. âHey, Bucky,â you croaked tiredly. He laughed, and you could hear the exhaustion in his voice. But the sound of tiredness differed from yours. âDid I wake you up?â he asked, and you moaned. âNo, I just woke up,â you told him. âWhy would you wake up at one in the morning, Doll?â he asked.
âNightmare,â you breathlessly told him. You could swear on the daisy that began to bloom two weeks ago that you started to feel a weight being lifted off your shoulders. âTalk to me, Doll. Was it bad?â he questioned. âYeah, it was worse than the previous ones.â You hadnât even realized that you just spilled your secret. âYouâve been getting them for the past few nights? Dollâ Iâm so sorry, but you know you can always talk to me, right?â
His words were more reassuring than anything Steve ever said. âI know, itâs just⊠The nightmaresâtheyâre very personal. You might not understand how scary they are. Plus, I donât want to bother you,â you sheepishly admitted to him. He sighed heavily. âI understand, Doll, but you can never bother me, okay? Iâm the one whoâs supposed to feel that way, not you,â he chuckled, just to ease the tension.
âNow, Iâm gonna be there in the next twenty minutes. Do you think you can sort yourself out by then?â he asked, and you started to stutter. âUhm, sure, yeah, sure,â you agreed obediently. âGood girl, Iâll be there in a few.â And with that, he hung up. Your eyeballs bulged out of their sockets at those two words he uttered. Steve never said anything like that. Heâd always just nod, even if you couldn't see it. You simply wrapped yourself in one of your most favourite blankets because changing seemed pointless to you.
There was no way he was not in pyjamas⊠right?
You turned the lamp on next to you before you could convince yourself that your chair was a monster. Your back was cold but also covered in sweat. You hated that feeling, and your mother always had the best way to describe it. âItâs like heating something in the microwave but failing nonetheless. The outside of it is warm, but the inside is still cold.â Sheâd tell you as sheâd wipe down your back with a towel.
That was before everything went downhill. Before you turned thirteen and before she married him.
You sighed and got out of bed, willing yourself to put the kettle on. Maybe youâll make some hot chocolate, or perhaps some tea⊠In your mind, twenty minutes always seemed like a long time. It sounded as though you could get quite a lot done in a third of an hour. The reality always felt like getting ice water poured on you as a method for waking up.
Unless your life was significantly put together, those one thousand and two hundred seconds are equivalent to five minutes. The ceramic lid for the jar clinked as you set it down on the counter. You grabbed two chamomile tea bags and closed the pot with a âping!â. You grabbed two cups from the cupboard and then groaned loudly when you realized that you hadnât turned the kettle on.
With a flick of your finger, you turned it on and leaned onto the counter. You sighed pretty loudly. Your head fell into the cup that your hands made, and you closed your eyes. You didnât have a headache, and your eyes didnât hurt either; you were just exhausted. You sighed once again, and the kettle clicked, telling you the water was done boiling.
Timing was everything, as always. And sometimes âtimingâ is just a coincidence, just like how Bucky rang the doorbell as soon as the water stopped boiling. You rubbed your eyes and walked to the door slowly, not caring that he may have been standing out there for thirty seconds too long. You opened itânot all the wayâbut wide enough for him to catch a glimpse of your tired form. âHi,â he greeted, letting himself in.
Bucky looked around your home as if he was waiting for someone to round the corner with a knife and shotgun. âNice place,â he said with an awkward smile on his face. âThanks, even though our homes are formatted the same way,â you chuckled. He nodded, and then a few seconds after, he let out a forced laugh. You looked up at him and gave him a meek grin, and then went back to making the tea.
âIâm so glad I have two bags of chamomile left. Itâs like the universe has decided to bless me again,â you breathlessly said. âWhat was the blessing before?â he curiously asked. âYou.â You poured the hot water inside the cups, and then the bags of tea followed. âHoney or sugar?â you asked, and he pointed at the sugar. You passed it to him wordlessly, and the only sounds that filled the room were from your lungs and cups of tea.
âSo⊠Do you want to talk about it?â he asked after a few more wordless moments. âS- sure, thank you once again! Youâre so kind,â you sighed as you brought the cup of tea to your mouth. Bucky copied your movements, but just a bit slower. âIt was about my ex,â you admitted once you set your cup down. Bucky struggled to keep his eyes from popping out of their sockets at your mention of him.
âIt was so similar to an argument we had a few months before I broke up with him⊠The only difference was that he wasnât as⊠terrifying. And yet he still scared me,â you solemnly spoke. Bucky stretched a hand across the counter and placed it on your shoulder. He pleasantly squeezed it a bit, and you were tempted to lean into his touch.
But you just canât, because Steve is in the back of your mind, taunting you.
âWhat really happened in the dream?â he asked, and you took another sip of tea. âWell⊠We were fighting. He had to go away for a while, even though he just came back. Heâd always do that; itâs what helped destroy our relationship. He valued his job over me, and also, someone else,â you sadly recounted. Bucky listened in carefully, because he wanted to help out his best girl in any way possible.
âI caught him in his lies because his excuses became so⊠Inexplicable. I always had that nagging feeling that he was cheating on me with his friend, his coworker. That argument confirmed everything. I couldnât handle it all being true, so I tried to leave for a walk,â you paused to take a shaky breath. âHe got angry and stopped me, and then he threatened me,â you bluntly finished.
Bucky was so glad that his hand was no longer resting on your shoulder because Goddamn was his fist clenched tightly. You brought the cup of tea up to your mouth, and Bucky just watched you as you diverted your eyes away from him. Once you set the cup down, Bucky grabbed your hands. In contrast, his were extremely hot, and yet the flesh one was dry. Yours were a bit cold, but they were soft and a bit dewy. You looked up at him, only to lock eyes.
âItâs just a dream, doll, okay? And itâs in the past, it wonât happen again, our minds can be crazy sometimes, so try not to worry about it,â he whispered lowly, bringing both of your hands up to his mouth. He pressed a kiss on both sets of your knuckles. You nodded softly, and you leaned down to press a kiss on his flesh knuckles in return. You smiled against his skin, even though it was bruised and slightly red. You wanted to ignore the weird feeling of his metal arm against your sweaty skin, but you couldnât help it.
âCan- Can I do the thing to your metal hand?â you asked him, hopeful that he would say yes. Bucky nodded, with a slight smile on his face, of course. You closed your eyes and puckered your lips just a bit, pecking the metal. His breathing hitched, unbearably so. It was something he would always catch himself doing whenever heâd think about you or whenever he was simply just in your presence. You opened up eyes and looked back up at him, and you could see the way his eyes glazed over.
He let go of your hands abruptly, allowing them to fall onto the marble countertop. His fingers slotted themselves against your cheeks, and he grabbed your face gently. Bucky pulled you close to him, and he smashed his lips against yours. The kiss was messy, but it was full of passion. You kept your lips locked against his, and your fingers carded through his long hair. There was no other movement apart from the way Bucky kept trying to pull you closer and closer.
It was almost like he wanted to merge bodies, minds, and souls with you.
A few more seconds passed, and Bucky eventually pulled away. He rested his forehead against yours, and you exhaled a shaky breath. âSteve⊠His name is Steve, and I hate him,â you admitted to him, and Bucky kissed your nose. âAnd I hate him too, doll,â Bucky said before parting ways from you. There was a bit of tea left in his cup, but you had finished all of yours. âGet some rest, okay? Or just close your eyes for a bit. You need it,â he advised, and you nodded. âThank you, Bucky. I really appreciate you being there for me,â you expressed to him.
âAnything for you, doll, now go tuck yourself in,â he urged once again before walking past you to the door. You placed the cups in the sink, and neither of you looked back at each other. You heard the door shut with a loud echo, and you sighed heavily. Maybe you were going to listen to him. Sleeping in isnât that bad after all.
Bucky always believed that being vulnerable was stupid. He also believed that opening up was stupid. But, to be fair, he believed that anything involving emotions was stupid. But when it comes to you, he felt the opposite. Maybe vulnerability was good. Perhaps it was exactly where you needed to be for him to finally be able to love you.
And it was then when he realized that he hadnât been loving you properly. He hadnât been loving you the way he wanted to love Natasha, and that just ended up with her six feet deep with flowers growing above her body. He needed you, but you clearly needed him more than anything else. Bucky was desperate for you at times, of course, but you matter more to him than anything else.
Bucky looked down at his desk, staring at the single plane ticket that would take him all the way across the state of New York. He hadnât been there in over a year, and that was when he first learned of Natashaâs promiscuity. Philandering around with his best friend, fucking said best friend in the most memorable locations he had taken her.
He honestly wouldnât have been surprised if he found out that the reason why Natasha showed up to the wedding venue late was that she was too busy lifting up that poofy white gown for Steve. He thought that by emptying out Pandoraâs box when she passed, everything would be okay. That heâd be able to move on without a care, and he wouldnât have to shed any more tears for her. Bucky wonât. He promised himself he wouldn't.
He just had a few loose ends to wrap up before he made you his. That was all.

A Blessing in Disguise
I am very excited to announce that this fic now has a Russian translation! I posted this in October on my old blog, and in honor of having a translation recently written for it, Iâve decided to repost it onto this one!
ao3Â Â
Russian translation  Â
content warnings: discussion of abortion, issues with body image and self-esteem, pregnancy, non-graphic birth
-
Two red lines stared back at him, the image burning itself into his brain. A sudden wave of dizziness washed over him and he stumbled to the ground, too dazed to catch himself. He couldnât believe that this was happening.
He was pregnant.
He was pregnant, and he wasnât sure how he felt about it, too disoriented at the moment to really tell. He was in his mid-twenties; in his prime and at the perfect age to start making pups, according to society.
But Peter didnât think he was ready. Of course, the Omega in him had yearned quietly for pups ever since he started going through puberty, but Peterâs priority had always been to make a name for himself in science. He wanted to get his PhD and go on to make revolutionary discoveries; to pave the way for all Omegas and prove that his secondary gender couldnât hold him back. For years, heâd been competing with Alphas, constantly trying to prove his worth. He couldnât let all of that go down the drain for a pup.
There was Tony to think about, too. Peter had no idea if he would want to be a father, and he was too terrified to imagine his reaction to the news. He toyed briefly with the idea of not telling him, but that thought was quickly pushed out of his brain.
Tony deserved to know, and Peter had to tell him soon; soon enough that he could still get an abortion, if that was what he wanted.
A knock on the bathroom door brought him out of his thoughts.
âBaby?â Tony mumbled tiredly, voice laced with the thickness of sleep. âAre you going to bed soon? Youâve been in there for a while.â
Peter stashed the cluster of pregnancy tests in the back of the cabinets below the sink. He would have to remember to get rid of those the next day, before Tony could find them. Another knock had him rushing to stand up and wash his face, clearing it of his silver tear tracks.
âPete?â Tony called, louder now and with more concern, still waiting for a response. âYou okay?â
âIâm fine,â Peter answered, unlocking the door and stepping out of the bathroom.
Tony hadnât finished scanning him for signs of harm when his nose picked up on the distress radiating from Peterâs body. It was a bitter scent; one that itched at Tonyâs instincts, making him want to replace it with something more cheerful at once.
âWhatâs wrong?â Tony pulled him into his warm embrace, rubbing his back in small circles that bunched up his shirt.
Peter was tired of living in fear. Even if heâd only known about his pregnancy for all of ten minutes, he didnât want to keep it from Tony for any longer. They didnât keep secrets. They worked hard to keep their relationship honest, and Peter wasnât going to be the one to ruin that.
âIâm pregnant,â Peter blurted out.
Tonyâs hands faltered but remained on his back, which Peter took as a good sign. He didnât dare to look up at his face, keeping his own hidden in the crook of Tony's neck. After a few minutes of mutual silence, the older manâs hands resumed their movements.
âYouâre pregnant,â Tony repeated. âSweetheart, thatâs - thatâs amazing.â
âYou want to keep it?â Peter questioned, voice void of any judgement.
Tony recoiled away from him. âDo you not want to keep it? Itâs your choice, of course, Iâll pay for the expenses either way.â
âI donât know what I want to do,â Peter admitted smally. âI donât want to give up everything Iâve worked for to stay home and take care of a pup. Iâve spent my whole life trying to prove that Omegas are more than pup-making machines. And now Iâm pregnant.â
âYou donât have to give anything up,â Tony said firmly. âYou can keep studying for your PhD, and get a job after that. Iâll stay home with the pup.â
Peter finally looked up at him. âYouâd be willing to do that? I know itâs not - traditional, for the Alpha to be the one at home.â
âFuck traditional,â Tony declared. âThatâs our whole motto, honey. We donât have to be traditional. And frankly, being there for my pup is a lot more important to me than what others will think of it.â
Peter beamed and threw himself onto Tony, who caught him and stumbled back a few steps from the force.
They quickly learned that pregnancy was not fun. At all. Peter spent most of the days of his first trimester alternating between clutching a trash can and a toilet seat, heaving up the contents of his stomach. Tony was always by his side, smoothing his hair away from his sweaty forehead and making him meals he could tolerate.
The second trimester was a lot more enjoyable. Peterâs stomach had settled down, for the most part, and started forming into a baby bump. He and Tony had completely opposite reactions to that.
âIâm so fat now,â Peter wailed into his pillow. âMy body is ruined. Iâm going to look distorted forever.â
Tony was patient with him, though, hiding his own glee until Peter was in a better mood. He thought that pregnancy looked amazing on Peter; he was practically glowing with it.
âYouâll be back in shape in no time, honey,â Tony assured him. âYouâre still gorgeous as ever.â
Even more exciting than watching the baby bump grow was finding out the sex of their pup. Peter held Tonyâs hand as they waited, shivering at the cool gel slathered on his abdomen. Slower than the couple wouldâve liked, the doctor turned the screen to them.
They were having a boy.
Both Tony and Peter cried that day. They invited their friends over to the penthouse and threw a small party, accepting all of the gifts their friends brought with big smiles.
The third trimester, and thus the birth of their pup, arrived a lot faster than they expected. Tony had been at a meeting when Peterâs water broke, the latter of whom was in too much pain to drive himself to the hospital, and hobbled over to the bathtub instead.
âBoss,â FRIDAY interrupted the shareholder speaking unapologetically, âPeterâs water broke and he is now in labor.â
Tonyâs face paled in less than two seconds, and he was out of the meeting room in less than one. He instructed FRIDAY to call the doctor and raced into the elevator, urging his AI to take him up to the penthouse faster than was allowed.
He found Peter curled up in the tub with a pained expression, whimpering in between each contraction as it came and went. He crouched next to him and offered him his hand, grimacing at the strength with which he gripped it.
The doctor joined them twenty minutes later with a nurse at her heels, ushering Tony to the side to crouch in between Peterâs open legs.
Tony knew that Peter would pull through. His mate was strong, with a will that matched his own. That didnât stop him from wincing at every cry that tumbled out of Peterâs lips, or wishing privately that heâd never gotten him pregnant, because that way he wouldnât be in pain.
Six hours after Peter went into labor, his groans were silenced by the loud cry of his newborn, who had finally come out. He was dirty, looking more like an organ than a human being, but Tony didnât get to look at him for very long. The nurse whisked the child away while the doctor finished up with Peter.
Tony stayed with Peter, running his fingers gently through his damp curls. âYou did it, baby. Iâm so proud of you. You did it.â
The nurse returned soon after, the baby now clean and looking considerably more like a human. The baby was handed to Peter, who held him with shaky arms and watched him breathe through bleary eyes.
âSkin on skin contact is important,â the nurse told them, draping a blanket over Peterâs naked chest and the baby.
They moved Peter to the master bedroom, which was where he would spend his recovery. The baby would be there, too, resting in an incubator once he was taken away from Peter.
âWhat do you want to name him?â Tony wondered, laying on the bed with Peter. Heâd insisted on having the incubator placed on his side of the room, so that he could watch over both of the people that owned his heart. Peter hadnât minded, had just smiled at Tony fondly and nodded.
Tony was glad. If he looked to the left, he saw the love of his life, relaxing after giving birth to the baby boy on Tonyâs right. He wanted to keep them close forever.
âBenjamin Anthony Stark,â Peter told him. âAfter the most important men in my life.â
Tony swallowed harshly. Heâd never imagined naming his child after himself, or having someone else want to do so. He didnât think there was much to live up to. Peter clearly didnât agree with that, and there was his proof.
âBen,â Tony whispered to himself, gazing at their little boy.
It sounded perfect.

que dios los bendiga <3

Much to everyoneâs dismay, Jungkookâs spring break in Vegas with the boys is cut three days short when Jiminâs dog sitter suddenly cancels, citing a case of homesickness as enough cause to abruptly go home. When you first hear news of this, youâre preparing yourself for the return of a mopey, useless Jungkook, too drained from four glorious days in Las Vegas to carry on. What youâre not expecting is the mysterious text he sends you before boarding a five hour flight with no service (he was cheap).
kook still on vegas lockdown. Have that pussy ready when i get home
âThe fuck does that mean?â Chaeyoung is the first to see the message, your screen lighting up on the kitchen counter beside you as you scrub through a mountainous pile of dishes. You try to play it off, after all, Chaeyoung had seen parts of you you hadnât even seen, but there was no worse embarrassment than having your homegirls see your clown of a boyfriendâs ridiculousness. âHeâs so romantic,â she swoons, and you shoo her away from the offending device as you wipe your hands down on your t-shirt.Â
you for what?? One 20 second round đ€„
Chaeyoung suddenly cackles from over your shoulder, and you swear your soul leaves your body.Â
You donât get a response until exactly five hours and thirteen minutes later, your phone vibrating like crazy on the edge of your bathtub, and if you hadnât given it a hearty kick and sent it flying across the room, front screen shattering into the most intricate spider web of glass shards, it would have fallen into the water. The terror.Â
kook pls pick me upÂ
kook also haha. U r soooo funny đ
Youâre halfway to the airport, idly sitting in traffic and giving the public a free, Beyonce-like experience of The Scriptâs Breakeven, when you realize youâre not wearing any pants. Youâre not exactly sure which part of Jungkookâs long t-shirt had tricked you into believing you were decently dressed, but youâre not too mad. After all, Jungkookâs trip with the boys had been a last minute decision that did not take into consideration your never-ending thirst for your boyfriend, so a little payback never hurt anybody.Â
Heâs sitting on top of his suitcase outside the airport when you get there, cute Birkenstock-clad feet swinging back and forth as he waits for you like the good boy he is. He crouches down by the passenger window, âUh, yeah, is this the Uber?âÂ
You canât even bother hiding the smile that consumes your face, and it only grows tenfold when he finally gets in and immediately leans over the center console to kiss you. âLook whoâs finally back from their little bachelor party,â you murmur, eyes lidded dangerously low when he breaks away.Â
âOh, the party where I accidentally sleep away my life-savings to a stripper named Aries and then have to go home and beg for my wifeâs forgiveness?â He responds immediately, devious pink tongue swiping out to lick at your bottom lip.Â
You snort. âJokeâs on you, because our hot pool boy kept me company and treated me better in four days than my husband had in six years,â you mumble, finger looping into the silver chain around his neck to pull him close again.Â
âNot our hot pool boy,â he whines, smile pressed adorably to your lips.Â
You almost retort, but a ten-second horn blast from the car behind you has the two of you jumping three feet from each other, like teenagers caught making out in the school parking lot.Â
-
Just as youâd predicted via text, Jungkook barely has the energy to walk up the steps to your apartment, much less fuck you like heâd promised. âFuck, stop being healthy and let us take the elevator,â he grunts, pushing his suitcase onto the final platform leading to your floor.
âNope,â you concede. âThe stairs give me a good view of your ass going up.â
He shoots you a scandalized look, like youâre an old man whoâd just catcalled him on the street. âPretty sure thatâs my line.â
Itâs when youâre unlocking the front door, sending out a little prayer to the heavens (Chaeyoung) for the blessing of an empty apartment, that he notices your lack of proper clothing. âOh, hell no,â he groans, immediately crowding you against the armchair nearest the door.Â
You laugh, struggling to turn to face him as he nuzzles his face into your neck. âWhat seems to be the problem?â
He sighs against the shell of your ear, and youâd be a liar to say it didnât send a gush of wetness to your core. Jesus, just a single puff of air from Jungkook was enough to turn your coochie into a Fruit Gusher. âNot your sexy legs again,â he whines, and you giggle when he presses those pouty lips to yours.Â
âThought I was supposed to have this pussy ready for you,â you tease, tilting your head up until your noses brush against each other. Jungkook lets a soft huff of a sigh go, eyes fluttering shut at your close proximity.Â
Thereâs a hand that creeps along the back of your thigh, fingers pressing into the soft skin until he finally guides it upwards, hitched over his hip. The new position has your body curving backwards, tilted over the edge of the couch as he continues crowding closer and closer to you. âBaby,â he whines, and the tone and sudden usage of your favorite nickname wipes the teasing smile off your face. âI missed you so much,â he purrs, in that tone that says he knows he has you under his complete control, all he has to do is take care of you.Â
Still, you try to put up some sort of a fight. âIâm sure your eyes were kept entertained in Vegas,â you retort weakly, not even bothering to hide the jealousy in your tone.Â
Jungkook laughs, before puckering his lips and smothering you. Instantly, you throw your arms around his broad shoulders to pull him closer. His hair tickles your face from how long itâs gotten, and when you brush it back, collecting it into a makeshift baby ponytail, you canât even enjoy the sight because Jungkook is pressing his rock hard member against your inner thigh.Â
âYou think Iâm a cheater?â He muses when he finally pulls away, a little entranced by the saliva that coats your lips in a thin sheen. âCouldnât be even if I wanted to.â Before you can ask what that even means, heâs hauling you into his arms, your legs wrapping around his tiny waist, his cock now cradled between your thighs, right where you want him most. You moan immediately, head lolling backwards at the touch youâd craved for days. âFeel that? No one gets my dick hard like you do, baby.â
Even though his adrenaline is on one hundred, and heâs clearly blinded by his lust, Jungkook still sets you down on the bed like youâre made of glass. Any comments you may have made are smothered by his lips on yours, fingers gripping your waist like itâs the first time heâs ever touched you. When he pulls away, his eyes are dark and his breath is a little heavy where it fans against the lower half of your face.Â
âSo pretty,â he huffs, rolling his hips against yours. You groan, eyes rolling back as the familiar feeling of your boyfriend between your legs consumes you. Jungkook presses his mouth against the skin of your neck, where the faintest sheen of sweat had begun to form the moment you unlocked the front door.Â
If you thought you were loud, the sounds leaving Jungkookâs throat are teetering on the edge between a pornstar and a yodelling-enthusiast. You canât help the smirk crossing your features. âAre you really gonna come?â
Jungkook was many things, and drama queen was definitely very high on that list. He gives you the most scandalized expression, stopping the movement of his hips to scoff. âAs if,â he snorts, but you know that little eyebrow furrow a little too well.Â
You snort, reaching down to his sides as you try to discreetly urge him to start up again. âBaby, your jaw is twitching,â you point out, a soft whine leaving your lips when he shifts your leg up. Itâs this same sound that has him finally moving again.Â
âYeah, well,â he groans, one hand deathly gripping into your hip now, pressing you down onto the bed so hard you feel the comforter will swallow you up any minute now. âI just got my wisdom teeth removed, âmember?â
Your retort is briefly cut off by the cry you let out when he ducks down to suck a mark beneath your jaw. âM-Months ago,â you weakly respond,Â
Jungkook ignores you in favor of using his Hulk strength to fold you in half, groans borderline animalistic as he grinds his cock into your soaked panties. His jaw is tight like youâd said, but you can tell heâs holding himself back. He hated coming before you, seldom doing it unless it was one of those rare days where he wanted you to pamper him.Â
âFuck,â he grunts, swallowing your pitiful whines before pushing his tongue down your throat. There was something sexy about your boyfriend being so turned on that his saliva production was off the charts. âYouâre gonna ask me to do that thing again, arenât you?â He predicts.Â
All you can do is nod, and Jungkook smirks. âAh,â he says, much like a doctor would, and you comply, mouth wide. You see the muscles beneath his jaw twitch, and a moment later heâs leaning over you with puckered lips, a glob of saliva begging to drip down.Â
The moan that catches in your throat has him smiling, tongue peeking out to cut the bridge of saliva that connected the two of you, and you want to tell him you love him, but then heâs raising his eyebrows at you, motioning for you to swallow, so you do. âAbsolutely filthy,â he grins, and then returns to thrusting against you.Â
As much as you liked to tease him, heâs good at fulfilling the sexual aspects of his boyfriend role, and he guides you to your orgasm moments later. Of course, he does so by toying with your tits just the way you like, lips pressed firmly to yours as you become a boneless heap beneath him. âThatâs it, pretty baby,â he murmurs, pressing one final kiss to your lips before heâs shifting back onto his haunches, tugging you closer until the backs of your knees are cradled carefully in his elbows.Â
Despite your transcended state, you love watching Jungkook get himself off, and your eyes flutter as you watch him thrust sloppily against your soiled panties. Theyâre soaked by your own arousal, and had Jungkookâs sweats not been as dark as they were, youâre almost certain youâd see how they stained.Â
He comes a moment later, body twitching and fingers tightening against your skin. His chest heaves, head lolling back as he tries to regain his senses. Silence envelopes the room.Â
âDo you wanna talk about it?â You blurt, no longer able to pretend like something isnât completely wrong.Â
Jungkook rolls his neck out, a satisfying crack resounding, as he angles to look at you again. His tongue is poking against his cheek in that cocky way it does sometimes, and he furrows his brows at you. âWhat?â
You shuffle up onto your elbows, motioning towards him with the vaguest wave possible. He blinks. You groan.Â
âWhat did you do?â You question, and immediately his eyes go wide and shiny in that way they do when youâre reprimanding him and he doesnât see the wrong in his ways.Â
Cute little lips forming a pout he remains as confused. âNothing? We really just went to fuck around and get drunkââ
âKook.â
âYou donât actually think I cheated, I thought we were just joking? UnlessâŠâ he trails off, doe eyes suddenly filled with fear. âYou werenât?â
âJungkookââ
He intercepts you, âdid you do something while I was gone? Who was he? Or she? Wow,â he huffs to himself in disbelief. âI donât even know you well enough to know if youâre into more than just men.â The frown on his face is getting deeper with each word he utters and you almost canât believe how dumb he could be. âNo wonder⊠am I a terrible boyfriend?â He asks, voice louder and more concerned than itâs been all night.Â
âWhat the fuck are you even talking about?â You say, and Jungkook looks just as lost by your response as you are with his. âBecause Iâm talking about whatever this is,â you explain, reaching up to drag a hand through his dual-colored locks.Â
Theyâd been carefully tucked under his bucket hat when youâd picked him up, a tuft of blonde peeking out from in front of his ear. It wasnât until heâd tipped you over the side of the couch that it had tumbled off. Of course, at the time, there had been other pressing matters at hand than wondering why your Hannah Montana blonde boyfriend had returned as Todoroki, which is why youâd waited until now to revisit the topic.Â
Jungkook doesnât move for a solid ten seconds. Then, as if processing the emotional episode heâd just given you, he gives you a sheepish smile. Itâs one of those smiles where his lips press together thinly and cutely and the apples of his cheeks seem like the squishiest things in the world. âOhâŠâ he says, voice soft and nothing like the man that spit in your mouth five minutes ago. âYou like it?â

âPure Perfection...â
Sugawara Koushi X Daichi Sawamura X Black!Reader
âCharacters đ”Sugawara Koushi âDaichi Sawamura
âWarnings -Suggestive NSFW -Talks of being overweight
âPrompt/Summary: đ”âDaichi and Sugawara have always been close friends, but what happens when they Y/N L/N and immediately fall in love. I guess a friendly rivalry is always good.đ”â
âNotes -Y/D - Your Drink I love these two so much.
đ” It wasnât like their constant advances didnât go unnoticed. Whenever you met with the two males, they both would silently glare at each other. The debate being who sat by who, before settling to sit by each other across from you. They both were persistent, having you neither deny nor accept their advances, but you enjoyed hanging around the duo.
đ” Sitting at the usual back table, you take an occasional sip of Y/D, your eyes on your laptop screen, typing an essay for class. âHey.â Sugawara slid into the seat across from me with a smile. âHeyo.â Smiling at him, he pulled out his laptop and opened it. Not fully sure if he was working, but I could feel him occasionally staring at me. Bringing my drink to my lips, I hide my smile.
đ”âI'm assuming Daichi isnât coming?â Suga shook his head and leaned back. âHe had a few things to do in Volleyball and help a few new members.â Both play for our College Prep, that was how we even met. Being a class above them, I was tasked to show them around. Thatâs how you became friends with the two.
đ”âThen why are you here?â Asking curiously, Sugawara sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. âTo see you.â Smiling at him, I watched his face turn red. âYou're super sweet, Sugawara.â He chuckled and started to ramble. âYep, super sweet! No thoughts. A total saint. Clean minded, no dirty thoughts here.â While his rambles, he knocked his cup over. Moving my computer and his, I quickly grabbed a few napkins. âI'm sorry.â My fingers brushed against his. After wiping down the table and cleaning up the spill together, I sat back down.
đ” âSorry. You didn't need to help. I made the mess and all.â Sugawara frowned, and I lightly placed my hand over his and smiled. âItâs alright.â Pulling my hand away, I swear I heard him mutter, âI'm never washing this hand again.â
ââItâs ok to make mistakes, Suga.â Daichi pressed his hand on top of Sugaâs hand, the one I just held with a forced smile. Sugawara loudly gasped and yanked his hand back and cradled it to his chest. Daichi slid into the seat beside Sugawara and smiled at me. âHey L/N.â
ââHey, Daichi.â Taking another sip, I continued typing. âL/N, would you like to go out on a date this Saturday?â Sugawara choked on his drink, while Daichi stared at them with a determined look and smile. âHm. No, thank you. I have work Saturday.â
ââShot down again.â Hearing Daichi mumble, he was persistent. Not like you were playing hard to get, you just had work. âYouâre such a tease, L/N.â I raised a brow and leaned forward, staring at Sugawara. âYou know how we feel about you, but you turn us down with the same playful smile and kind eyes Itâs not fair.â
â âHave you ever told me outright that you like me?â Suga and Daichi froze in their seats, before shaking their head. âWell, I like you L/N more than a friend like. I want to be with you.â My smile widened at Daichiâs immediate confession, so I turned to Sugawara.
ââI like you too and I want to be with you.â
đ”â âSince we just confessing right here and right now. I guess Iâll go next. Suga and Daichi, I like you. Please go out on a date with me Friday.â
đ”âThey could have fainted. They should have fainted. The foreign exchange student from America with gravity-defying hair, whose brown skin seemed to glow, and her body fashioned by God himself had come down and blessed Daichi and Sugawara with such a chance to go out with this inhuman beauty.
đ”â The paced anxiously in front of your house, each dressed in a simple suit, Daichi in black and Sugawara in white. You all had agreed to go out to dinner at a fancy restaurant and then head back to your place since it was close to the restaurant. âIf she comes out here looking like a whole snack, I'm fainting. You better fuckin catch me.â Sugawara and Daichi both came to a silent agreement. That if one of them fainted, they would slap the other awake.
đ”ââHeyo.â You smiled at the two, wearing a simple black and white dress. Neither one thinking you would match them both so perfectly. âI might faint.â Sugawara could feel his face burn, the longer he stared at you. âSo may I.â Daichi wanted to marry you on the spot. He couldnât help but imagine you walking down the aisle, dressed in all white.
đ”ââAre you both ok?â
đ”ââNo.â They spoke at the same time. They werenât ok, you were absolutely stunning, and it was blinding, âbut in a good way. You look beautiful.â Showing a wide smile, different from the playful and small ones given to them at the cafe. âDaichi, I'm melting.â Sugawara leaned against his best friends for support. âSuga, I canât feel my legs.â
đ”â Chuckling, I started walking, motioning for the two college boys to follow me. Scurrying to either side, you offered your hand. Both of them grabbed it. Walking to dinner, you talked about different things. From Volleyball to your childhood, each time you seemed to speak, they seemed to lean on every word, completely enthralled by your voice. By the end of the date, they both tried to pay for the dinner, but you told them it was fine. Later learning, your Japanese âfamilyâ that kept you for the summer before college ran the restaurant and paid for the meal.
đ”ââL/N, were two next?â
đ”ââY/N. Call me Y/N.â They both said your name at the same time. It differed from when they would say it when they were alone in their bedrooms. This time they got a response with you gentle squeezing their hands and leading them back to your house. Interlocking their fingers with you, each telling jokes, seeing who could make you laugh the hardest, enjoying your actual laugh than the one you forced to remain quiet while inside. At one point it got so bad, where you had to let go of their hands. Hopping up and down while running with an enormous smile, trying to keep back tears. It was beautiful. You seemed so composed and to see you completely let loose was amazing.
đ”â âGod, yâall have me actinâ like a clown.â Gentle grabbed the boyâs hands, you quickly pulled them inside. Make yourself comfortable, imma go change. I'll bring you back some clothes. Darting upstairs, the boys looked around. Seeing pictures of your family and objects you used to decorate. It had such a homey feel like seen in American movies.
đ”â âY/Nâs house smells so much like her. Itâs wonderful.â Sugawara inhaled deeply and sighed. It had become his favorite smell in the world. Daichi inhaled before sinking into the couch. Everything here seemed so you.
đ”â âIm back.â They turned to you, dressed in something comfortable. You held onto two sets of clothing. âI hope these fit.â Passing them the clothes, you directed them towards the bathroom, telling them to meet you upstairs once they were done.
đ”â Flopping onto your bed, I scrolled through my phone. Zoning out, I didnât hear Daichi enter my room. A soft hand ran up my back. Looking up, Daichi yanked his hand back. He apologized profusely. âI didn't think. Im sorry.â Grabbing his hand, I yanked him down into your arms. âY/N!â Cuddling him, you breathed softly. His hands raised, trying to not touch you without permission. âYouâre fine, Daichi.â Grabbing his arm, you lowered it and wrapping his arm around you.
đ”â He had realized how soft youâd feel, your embrace warm. His face buried into your neck, he let out a content sigh. âSuga, get over here.â You shuffled to the middle of the bed, making room for Daichi, and held out your arm for Suga. Almost throwing himself into my embrace, he cuddled up next to me, his head on my shoulder, while Daichi was still buried into your neck, their hand across your stomach.
đ”â Daichi and Sugaâs hand slowly ran and up your sides, Suga almost breaking down from feeling your love handles and tummy. You were literally gorgeous and he could feel tears prick his eyes. âSuga, are you ok?â He looked at you with teary eyes. âYou⊠your stomachâŠ.. you have love handles and you⊠How are you so perfect?â Your eyes widen, your hands running over your stomach.
đ”â Your physical appearance wasnât appealing to most, seeming to be completely overweight. âIâm sorry if thatâs strange.â You shook your head and smiled. âThank you.â Speaking quietly, pecking his cheek.
đ”â âY/N.â Daichi sat up and gently grabbed my face, pressing his lips against mine. His lips are extremely warm and fuller than youâd expect. Expressing his unending love for me, his sturdy but gentle grip on my face pulling me in closer.
đ”â Pulling away, I was speechless. Staring at me with an intense gaze, before flopping back down and burying his face into my neck. Not speaking, I ran my hand up and down his back. âMy turn.â Suga quickly pressed his lips against mine. They were cold but expressed literally everything he felt about me, his tongue flicking against my bottom lip before pulling away, a cocky smile on his face.
â Daichi had become the strong mountain in my life, pushing me towards my goals. Being a strong support system and always there for me.
đ”Suga came like rain. To relieve me of my worries, fill me with self-love, and no matter what he would be there, even in my darkest days.
đ”â To them, Y/N was their home. For when the daily struggles of life became hard to carry, they could turn to her, and sheâd greet them with the same radiant smile and pull them inside from the cold outside.

this is us trying, Chapter 3 - The Decision
In this AU, they donât know each other outside of the suit. And in this AU, Ladybug and Chat Noir love each other. But in this AU, Chat doesnât want their identities revealed.
Written for @ladynoirjuly 2021
notes: this is a coherent story based on all the prompts; each chapter contains at least 3 prompts
Ch 1 | Ch 2 | Ch 3 | Ch 4 | Ch 5 | Ch 6 | Ch 7 | Ch 8 | Ch 9 | Ch 10
Read on AO3
8. Admiration
Ladybug shifted from her spot at the top of Notre Dameâs North Tower, awaiting Chatâs arrival. The time it took to get in contact with him again wasnât very long, but it was longer than the intervals between their dates. She understood that he has his own life to live, and sometimes, their schedules just really couldnât match up. But for this time, in particular, she couldnât help but feel that he was avoiding her.
Was it really a coincidence that he got especially busy right after he left her alone on that rooftop? She didnât know.
Even though Ladybug had arrived 15 minutes earlier, she had that irrational fear that he wouldnât turn up. She knew Chat wasn't like that, he always keeps his word. But she couldnât help it, the possibility that their relationship could take a turn for the worse frightened her.
Luckily, before her thoughts could spiral out of control, Chat landed a few metres away from her.
Relief flooded her chest as Chat slowly stood from his crouched position. She was about to run over and throw her arms around him when his words stopped her.
âIâm really sorry for what Iâve done that day.â Chat wasnât at his full height, his body posture was humbled and he was rubbing his hands.
âWhat I did was horrible, and Iâve no excuse for the way I treated you that day.â He had his head lowered and his eyes glimpsed at her ever so often, to see if she was listening to him. âI understand if you want to walk away, I just hope youâll forgive me.â
Her eyes harden, posture standing even taller than before. Ladybug eyed him. This was the second time he had talked about her leaving him.
âIâm not going to walk away, Chat.â Her eyes softened as he flinched from her sudden rush of words. âBut Iâll be lying if I said that didnât hurt. I just want to know why it happened.â
Tears filled his green eyes as he fixed them on hers. His face held a sombre expression, as though it physically hurt him to be saying those next words.
âMy lady,â he pleaded with a voice thick of desperation. âForgive me, I promise Iâll tell you one day. Just⊠I canâtâ not nowâŠâ
Ladybug sighed.
âPlease know that,â he quickly rushed to her and embraced her tightly. âI didnât regret giving you that kiss! Never.â
Ladybug raised her arms and tightened her grip on him as he trembled.
âThank you for your assurance, Chaton.â She pulled back and surveyed his face. âIâm aware that this is a bit insensitive, but could you wait here for 5 minutes? Iâm just going to get some stuff.â
Chat grew uneasy. To be alone on a cool night? He was reasonably unsettled, especially after what had confronted him just moments ago. Ladybug said she wouldnât walk away, but now sheâs asking him to stay here? How could he not be worried?
âJust 5 minutes,â her fingers grazed his face. âI promise youâll enjoy our date even more after I bring those things here.â
He should trust her. He knows he could trust her. After all, she had said she wouldn't leave. It happened once, it can happen again.
âWe can call each other while Iâmââ
âItâs okay, my lady.â He pulled back and smiled. âIâll see you in 5 minutes.â
Ladybug wasnât convinced that heâs okay, but she gave him a peck on the cheek to ease his doubts. âIâll be back before you know it!â
And true to her words, she came back in 3 minutes, with two pillows, a thick blanket, and a laptop in her arms.
Chat eyed them quizzingly.
âWe, are going to get comfortable and watch montages of ourselves!â She sat beside him, the Ladyblog web page now visible on her screen. âLooking at how awesome we were would give us that extra endorphins boost, don't you think?â
âWe are still awesome now, what are you saying?â He wrapped the blanket around them.
She giggled. âWe should do some parkour sometimes.â
Bundled up in blankets with their limbs tangled, they sat there watching the best moments they had while battling Akumas, fondness for themselves and for the other clear on their faces.
Ladybug has always been like this, trying to solve whatever issues that arise. Itâs how theyâve won battle after battle. Even after the threat is gone, sheâs still trying to salvage the situation, no matter how small it is in the grand scheme of things.
Chat was immensely grateful for what she had done tonight. The videos had really calmed his nerves and brought back all those euphoric memories he once had. The reason why he was doing this in the first place. The joy his lady had brought to him whenever he spent time with her. The love and admiration he felt for her as she stood up against Hawkmoth on their first day as superheroes, despite Ladybug believing that she wasnât suited for her calling.
The loveâŠ
He tightened his hold around her.
âYou alright?â
âYeah, just mesmerised by how cool we are.â
How could he have forgotten? How miraculously amazing she was. No. She still is, up till this very day. Even after 6 years. Even after he denied her what she wanted most following Shadowmothâs defeat. Even after what heâs done to their relationship. She never walked away from him, and is still trying to rectify the situation.
He wasnât making it easy for her, even though it shouldâve been after the final battle. Itâs really unfair to her.
And yet, sheâs still here, she still chose to stick with him.
This canât go on.
He took hold of her hand and brought it to his lips. âYouâre the best thing that has ever happened to me.â
9. Cinema
âCome on, come on, come on, weâre gonna be late!â Chat hurriedly pushed her into the cinema, worried that they wouldn't make it to showtime.
âWasnât that 5-hour binge-watch enough?â Ladybug was obviously excited about the movie, but she couldnât allow him the satisfaction so easily.
âOf course not! This is the sequel to the series!â He continued pushing as if thereâs nothing entirely wrong with his behaviour.
âAnd weâre heading to a cinema now. Didnât you say you wanted us to be as discreet as possible?â She raised her eyebrow despite Chat not being able to see her face.
âYeah, but itâs the premiere today! We wonât be able to watch it on the laptop.â They stopped at the cinema hall entrance and Chat scanned his ticket for the seat number before he continued pushing. âAlso, watching in a cinema after hours of watching from a smaller screen is just a different experience, no?â
They finally arrived at the row where their seats were, but he continued resting his hands on her shoulder, guiding her to her seat before finally letting her go. âBesides, Parisians wonât kick us out after the âpatrolâ stun we pulled.â
She rolled her eyes. âI mean we did do our job when something happened.â
Although animated films are popular in France, this particular one didnât attract as many audiences as those action-packed animated films, which was a blessing and a curse because they would be able to get away with minimal attention on them, but also so many people are missing out on this greatness.
âAnyway, do you think weâll cry again?â She rubbed her tear-stained eyes, âI donât think Iâve any liquid left in me for that.â
âNonsense, thereâs definitely more in you,â he cupped her cheeks to have a better look at her. âAnd you still look so pretty even after all that crying.â
âOh, quite the sadist, arenât you? Does my crying bring you joy?â
âCome on, Buguinette, you canât deny it was phenomenal.â
âYeah, youâre right. It is phenomenal. But couldnât we spread it out even more? The watch time on that series I mean.â
âI⊠I wonât have time for the rest of the week,â his smile fell as his hands caressed her cheeks. âIâm really sorry.â
âNo wonder you wanted to spend the whole day today,â she teased. âWell, no worries about it! I love spending time with you.â
He moved his hand to hers and placed a kiss on her knuckles. âThank you, my lady.â
And thatâs when the lights started dimming. They relaxed into their respective seats, but not without interlacing their hands together.
The movie, of course, had delivered what the series had set out to do. The cinema was filled with sniffles and sobs and Ladybug and Chat Noir were certainly not spared from the experience. They were tearing like they had been all afternoon, the only difference was that they werenât able to hold the other as tightly as they wouldâve liked due to the armrest in between them.
And they didnât realise the importance of tissues until that night. They had to go to the toilet to clean their face and clear their noses before continuing with other plans they had had for the night.
10. Moonlight
As they left the establishment, they were surprised to see how the gleaming of the silver orb that hung in the sky rivalled that of The City of Light.
Chat proposed spending the rest of the night at the top of the Eiffel Tower, given that it has been a while since they were there. And immediately regretted that suggestion when he remembered that their last memories of the Eiffel Tower were of him expressing his wishes to hold off the reveal right after the final battle.
But Ladybug eagerly agreed and was already well on her way. He had no choice but to follow through.
When he arrived, he was awestruck by the moon. He hasâ
âânever seen the moon this big! Wow!â Ladybug proclaimed as she took in the moon in all its beauty.
She was captivated by the glamour of the moon, but to Chat, it seemed as though she was basking in the moonlight. Her suit gave off a shimmering red glow not often seen and her dark hair looked midnight blue under it. Her back was towards him, but as she turned around to move towards the spot next to him, he felt his own heartbeat quickened. The brilliance of her blue orbs awed him, they were of a pigment he had never seen before in her eyes.
âWow indeed.â
They moved to sit side by side on the edge and took in the view of the moon and of the city. Did they really enjoy this view of the city weekly before? Has it always been this beautiful?
âYou know,â Ladybug started, breaking the silence. âIâm really glad he chose what he did in the end.â
âYeah, they finally got together.â
She peered upwards. âIt wasnât an easy journey, but Iâm so satisfied with that ending. Iâm sure everyone was crying tears of joy too.â
That animated series as a whole was about conveying your feelings to the ones you love. Which he did, a lot. He was never one to shy away from declaring his love for her. But why did everything change after the final battle? Why did he change after the final battle?
His heart mustâve been tired of what his brain was trying to reason about, and thus led him to pick this series to watch, and eventually the movie. All the answers were there.
He knew his lady well enough and was certain that she wouldn't walk away. She has proved that time and time again.
So what was preventing him from being with her, when he very much desired to have a happy ending with her as well?
In some ways, his current predicament was similar to Gilbertâs. He was afraid. He was afraid that sheâll abandon him after she found out who he really was, and what heâs done.
ButâŠ
Chat looked over to see Ladybug moonbathing and enjoying the light breeze. Was it too much to hope for a happy ending himself? He knew damn well how Violet felt throughout the whole ordeal of trying to get Gilbert back by her side. Did he really want his lady to end up that way eventually, when he had the ability to prevent that?
No. Thatâs too brutal. The world was already cruel to him. But if he could prevent that cruelty and enable her to witness how beautiful life can be, how pleasant she had made life for him, heâd do it.
âChaton?â
Those eyes that looked at him as though he hung the stars in her sky. Those wide blue eyes that never gave up on him despite his failure to give her what she wanted most. Those worried, concerned eyes, so full of love.
He was choked up with emotions.
âI love you.â
Ladybug inhaled sharply and stared at him unblinking, unsure if she misheard those words.
She reached out to him slowly. âCan⊠Can you say that again?â
âI love you.â He took her hand and squeezed it, leaning in to press his warm lips against her cheek.
He pulled back to see tears in the corner of her eyes.
âMy lady?â
She still stared at him as her tears started to trickle down her face.
His hands flew to her face. âMyââ
Ladybug threw her arms around him with such vitality that they toppled over. âI love you too!â
He pulled her in to close any gaps between them, so very glad that she still felt the same despite all that has happened. She planted a heartwarming kiss on his cheek as Chat landed on his back.
They basked in each otherâs warmth and presence. He stroked her hair and she melted into him, happy tears flowing as her kitty was starting to declare his love for her again, verbally.
âMy lady, can we meet up again tomorrow?â
âI thought you said you were busy?â She giggled.
âI did,â he grinned. âBut who said anything about meeting during the hours of the day?â

Carry On
Idol: Handong (Dreamcatcher)
You were once forced to continue with the absence of one member. Now the girls are once again forced to face the same predicament.
Warning: angst and character death
Seeing the amount of people that were commenting on their performance, Minji sucked in a deep breath while she gripped the microphone tightly in her hands. âHi everyone.â Her voice, although loud, carried the weight of the news that they were carrying for the past week.
âI know youâre all concerned. We had to perform as seven before, and now we have to do it again.â Her voice cracks at the end of her sentence and she sees Gahyeon from the corner of her eyes, head cast down and fighting back tears while Yubin held her by the shoulders. Yoohyeon is beside Handong, gripping her hand while the other was used to wipe the tears that managed to escape her eyes.
Bora and Siyeon stand on either side of her, both with somber expressions on their faces and she can tell that if they tried talking, they would be no different from her.
But she was the leader and she had to do this.
âY/n is... she will no longer be present.â She paused, feeling the lump forming in her throat while Siyeon gently squeezed her arm. âWe told you that the concert was delayed due to personal reasons.â
Bora squeezed her friendâs hand before deciding to take over, knowing that Minji was not able to properly speak out on her own. âThe concert was supposed to be canceled, but at Y/nâs request, we pulled through.â She breathed out while lightly dabbing at the corner of her eyes. âWe were all fighting for something we werenât sure we could win but in the end...â
âOur Y/n has been battling cancer for two years and, four days ago, it seemed that sheâs finally taken a break.â She finally admits and it hurt so much more to say it out loud.
The rest of the girls were doing their best to hold back from crying, but the moment the screen behind them popped up, they had to brace themselves with the video you had prepared before your departure.
âHello!â
Seeing your smiling face had caused majority of them to break down into tears. Yoohyeon held Handong close to her and rubbed her back as she felt her tears falling on her neck.
âI really hoped it wouldnât come to this.â You say with a light smile. They could see you in the hospital, but even with that, you looked as free as always despite how thin and pale youâve gotten.
âItâs been a while since Iâve seen our InSomniaâs, but Iâm incredibly happy to see even some of you during our performance for the Drive-in, and that I was able to perform with all of Dreamcatcher.â You say with a content look on your face.
They could see you looking somewhere off camera and they wonder if this was shot during one of their visits.
âI know that a lot of you have been disappointed with how badly my performances have been, and I admit, that was my fault. I was hoping that I could show you all the best performance I could give.â You canât help but sigh regretfully before shaking your head and pulling the smile back on your face.
âI know that this may be sad news for you, but please, never let this be a reason to lose your smile or happiness. Youâve shown us love and support from the very beginning, and all I ask is that you continue to give Dreamcatcher that same amount of love even in my absence.â
Your eyes shift again and your smile becomes a bit softer before youâre speaking again. âJiu unnie, Sua unnie, Siyeon unnie, Dong unnie, Yoohyeon, Dami, Gahyeon, Iâm sorry for having to leave you so soon like this, but I hope you know how much I love and cherish each of you. Being a part of Dreamcatcher has to be one of the best gifts Iâve ever received and everyday I thank the universe for blessing me with seven wonderful girls as my members, my friends, and my family.â A lone tear falls down your cheek and you quickly wipe it away.
âKeep aiming high and keep fighting. I know you can do it.â You finally say before waving your hand. âThis is Dreamcatcherâs Y/n. âTil we meet again!â
When the screen goes blank, the rest of your members are back in their line, all of them wiping their tears away, though Handong and Gahyeon were covering their faces after getting to see the whole video youâve left for them.
âY/n never stopped fighting. Even when people were being mean to her, she always told us âitâs okay, they donât know. Just forgive themâ.â Siyeon spoke up despite her trembling voice. âShe didnât want us to focus on the bad things people said.â
âRemember what Boca is about, she would tell us.â Yubin said while she tried to blink away tears, but just this once, she couldnât seem to stop them from falling. âY/n unnie has always been very thoughtful. Sheâs caring to those around her and I think that was what made her so unique. It didnât matter who you were because sheâs able to ease herself into your life without issue and makes things seem lighter.â
âUnnie is-â Gahyeon tried to say something, but she struggled to get words out without sobbing. âSheâs one of a kind and I donât think there will ever be anyone who can replace her.â She managed out, failing to keep her own tears at bay.
âY/n has been keeping everyone together. She knows when someone is feeling down and she wonât hesitate to be a shoulder to lean on or a listening ear. She acted as though she was our personal therapist sometimes.â Bora shared with a little smile when she recalls the few times you decided to stay up with her when she wasnât feeling her best.
âIt worried me when she would do that. I didnât want her to take all the burden to herself and we sat down to talk. I think that was the first time we really saw Y/n cry. She told us she was used to comforting others, but never the other way around.â Minji explained as she shifted her microphone to her other hand. âY/n has been a joy to the people sheâs come across and I know that thereâs no forgetting someone like her.â
âUnnie always says she wants to leave a mark in peopleâs lives. She said it was her dream to inspire others.â Yoohyeon said in a small voice. âI think my only regret would be... not telling her that she was able to achieve that dream.â She says while shutting her eyes. âEverywhere we went, people remembered her and called out her name. Sheâs met thousands of people and Iâve seen some people online leaving comments about her, sharing stories from when she was still in school or those she befriended in her hometown.â
âHer patience was so long and I donât know how she could stand all of us, but when I saw the good things people said about her, it was no doubt in my mind that unnie really was Dreamcatcherâs angel.â
There was a bit of laughter to lighten up the mood, but when Yoohyeon turned to the person next to her, she gave her a small squeeze as an act of encouragement, telling her that it was going to be alright.
âEven though Y/n said she would no longer be part of Dreamcatcher, I donât believe it. For me, we will always be an eight member group and sheâll always be there as long as our memories together last. Dreamcatcher wonât be here without all of us and I think thatâs what we have to keep in mind. Y/n wanted all of us to keep fighting, and Iâll be sure to do my best to keep her dream alive.â Handong managed to say while looking at the camera and the rest of the girls smiled at her.
When the concert wraps up, the girls are all consoled by their staff, their managers, and even the director as they thanked everyone for helping them make the event and for looking after them throughout their career.
Many have expressed their condolences and reached out to the girls for your passing, and their families have sent yours messages as soon as they found out.
Your parents were able to fly all the way to South Korea, deciding that it would be best to have you buried there just so you would still be close with your members and all the people who were close to you. Since they believed that it may have been something you would want, they had no troubles coming to the decision.
The director of HappyFace also decided that it was appropriate to give everyone a much needed break after finally letting the news out and the girls were all able to rest and absorb everything that happened.
âCan I come in?â Handong looked at the door to see Yubin poking her head through the door and then beckoned the younger girl inside. âYou havenât left the room today and we were hoping that you werenât shutting yourself out.â The rapper explained as she took a seat and Handong sighed softly while shaking her head.
âYou know I wouldnât do that.â She muttered as her hand gently ran over the letter you had left for her. Yubin took a quick glance at it and hugged the older woman. âAre you still upset?â She asks softly and Handong pats the top of her head while staring at your familiar handwriting.
âAt first, I was. None of you told me when I should have been there for her. It took her passing out in front of me for you all to finally say that she was sick.â She mumbled before she placed the letter on one of her pillows.
She could remember the night well. After your first performance since her return, she saw your body slumped up against the wall and your manager assisting you just to bring you back to your waiting area.
âShe was so stubborn.â She said with a laugh, tears building in her eyes as she recalled what you told her as soon as she found out.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â The blue haired woman demanded when you were finally left alone with all of your members and they had explained to her what happened in her absence.
You gave her a slight shake of your head, smiling despite the pain that had washed over you. âI know that I wonât be able to stick around long enough so I wanted to at least perform as a complete group one last time.â You rasped out and Handong felt her tears finally break free while shaking her head and gripping your hand.
âDonât say that. Youâre going to be fine!â But the smile you showed her was proof enough that you were telling the truth. Minji explaining what the doctor told them during your last check up only further proved that you would not be reaching winter.
But they didnât think you would be gone so soon.
âI know youâre upset, but donât blame the others. They only found out a couple months after you left and I begged them not to tell you because I knew you would come back home.â You reason. âI couldnât take away your opportunity of reaching your dreams.â
âEven then, she thought of you.â Yubin mumbled and Handong nodded her head. âBut she was right. If you had told me while I was in China, I would have dropped out of the competition.â She admits while thinking back on everything.
âStill, I wish I had noticed sooner. I was worried because every time we were on call, she looked thinner and I thought she hadnât been taking care of herself.â She tells the younger woman and Yubin nodded in agreement. âIt was hard keeping it a secret from you. We wanted to tell you, but Jiu unnie reminded us to respect Y/n unnieâs decision.â
âI appreciate that you were all there for her. I know I couldnât physically be there, but itâs assuring to know that she wasnât alone.â
âIn the end, you were still there for her when she needed you the most. I think that was all that mattered to her.â Handong nodded her head while inhaling deeply. âSheâs okay now, she doesnât have to be in pain and no one is going to hurt her.â
Right after their short break, the girls pushed through with finishing the third part of Dystopia. Your message to each of them had been their source of motivation and the girls were driven in showing you that they would be okay, even if you werenât physically there.
Day and night, the practices went on. They recorded the songs and rehearsed them again and again, each girl participating in all parts may it be the songs or the choreography. Yoohyeon had even given her own suggestions during the filming of the music videos.
January of 2021, HappyFace was able to announce the groupâs comeback and all seven of them were feeling both excitement and anxiety as they waited for the video to finally drop up until promotions rolled in.
Being nominated once more for winning an award, all of them did their best, having each performance full with more energy than the last with you in mind. While they werenât too confident with winning, they were more focused on sending out their message that they are heard and that they are here to stay despite all the downs.
âAnd the winner is...â Watching as the numbers flashed on screen, everyone watched with bated breaths before they finally stopped and their picture popped on screen while confetti exploded everywhere. âCongratulations to Dreamcatcher!â
Hearing the announcement was a shock to all of them and they looked to one another, slowly becoming teary eyed as Minji shakily accepted the trophy and microphone. Turning her head, she saw all of her members in tears, all overwhelmed by finally achieving the one constant wish youâve all been holding on to.
âThank you so much. We...â It looked like none of them were capable of saying anything, each girl holding on to one another as Minji tried to compose herself. âWeâre very thankful to our staff, our director, our InSomnias and our family. Thank you for your never ending support.â She sobbed out before looking back to her friends. âMost of all, we would like to thank our shining star for being our reason for pushing forward and for believing in all of us.â
âY/n-ah, we finally did it!â Handong said into the mic, smiling despite her tears as all of them huddled together, taking one anotherâs hand while setting the trophy by their feet and then bowing deeply.
In the space between Handong and Siyeon, they made sure to leave a bit open where you could most definitely fit despite their locked hands and various other artists who watched the display and even fans could feel their own eyes fill with tears.

This is @soufcakmistressâ world right now and Iâm just living in it! The plot is so 90âČs yet still modern, and of course whatâs a story without Erik? Tune in to find out what Erikâs got Noelle & Remi entangled into!
WARNINGS: SMUT; GIRL ON GIRL (Yaâll, this is pretty hot if I do say so myself.Iâm not into chicks, but I give credit when due, this chapter is hot!)Â
Donât forget to LIKE, COMMENT, & REBLOG
*click hyperlink to find out who âherâ is*
The millions of nerve endings in your body were intensified by the sensation as the neurons in your brain attempted to register the exhilarating dual stimulation. Your tipsy eyes fluttered as your mouth formed a permanent âOâ. Sensual moans filled the room as your eyes struggled to stay focused on the scandalous site before you. With your body in her arms while she held the back of your thighs by your ears, Erik pounded away at your hidden desire as your toes curled to the ceiling. Your head fell back into her chest, looking up to see her smiling at you seductively. Biting your bottom lip, she leaned down to kiss you, tongue wrestling with you while you caressed her neck. Low grunts ensued between you as she bit your lip in between kisses. Still holding your legs for support, she lowered your right leg onto Erikâs shoulder and wrapped her hands around you to pleasure your clit, teasing you.
âMhmmmâ you let out pulling away from the kiss. Grinning in delight, she licked the right side of your neck, sucking it passionately, moving her hand from your clit to your hardened nipples. âFuckâ you breathed out. Still stroking away, Erikâs eyes fell on the two of you as you turned your head to kiss her. Erik bit his bottom lip and raised his brow enjoying the sight. âYou know you gotta share right?â He interjected. She pulled away from you, âSorryâ she grinned looking at Erik. âNow where were we?â Erik asked as he watched her move to the back of the bed. Your eyes fell on him and he entered your roughly, kissing you hungrily as he laid your body into the bed. Your hands made a mess of his dreads as your body was building up momentum to his harsh strokes, yanking your body up behind all of his power. You were feeling the impact of 9 inches of hard dick repeatedly stretching your pussy out indefinitely. Clawing at Erikâs back as his dick massages your tight folds, it made you even wetter knowing that you had an audience; an attractive one at that watching you.
Youâd never been involved in a situation like this, especially not sober. Youâd never been with a woman, not even a simple kiss. Your straight laced demeanor and good girl image was tainted tonight with the aid of liquid courage, and a strong milk chocolate man to guide you down this seductive charade of a rabbit hole; leaving your inhibitions up to free will. Standing 5â4 with caramel skin, her curves were immaculate whether heaven sent or Dr. Miami gifted her silhouette was alluring. Her perfectly crafted body consisted of tattoos in various locations, but the tattoo that was most appealing was the butterfly on her right ass cheek. Your eyes landed on her as Erik folded your body to his comfort, penetrating your swollen nub incessantly while kissing your body. Pulling at the covers you couldnât contain your moans, arching your back you pulled her foot by mistake causing you to get a better view. With her pearl exposed, she was in fact getting off to watching you and Erik get it on in front of her. She caressed her naked body roughly, hastily rubbing her clit as fast as she could to reach her peak. This alone peaked your curiosity. You couldnât keep your eyes off of her, a physical representation of what self pleasure embodied, with Erik continuously stuffing himself inside of you, your body erupted an intense orgasm that rocked your body with conviction.
Unknowingly, the three of you came together in unison coming down from a high. Erik removed himself from you and walked away to the bathroom. She on the other hand, climbed on top of you, straddled you, and ran her hands through your hair caressing your face, kissing you passionately. Not thinking twice, your hands landed on her back, traveling down to her waist, and lastly a firm grip to her ass; cupping her tattoo. You couldnât get enough of this feeling, feeling her smile against your lips in between kisses. She managed to flick at your clit, evoking soft whimpers from your lips. âGood girlâ, her sultry voice let out. Within minutes, she found your sweet spot, that sensual spot that only Erik could touch, she found what made you gush instantly. With a quick squeeze of your clit and a bite to your nipple, a puddle ensued underneath as a result of endless pleasure. Erik walked in with a pair of joggers on with a smirk on his face, watching how you looked at her smiling, he couldnât believe that his plan went off without a hitch. Though he was happy, he was growing quite jealous of the bond you two were forming. Clearing his throat, you two looked at him and she removed herself from your lap. âI see youâve shown her a good timeâ Erik stated. âI hope soâ she said getting out of bed, winking at you. She threw on her lingerie, dress and heels and headed for the door. Erik followed her to the door handing her a wad of money. You two locked eyes for a moment before she walked out the door.
**
Getting out of bed, I threw on my black silk robe as Erik walked over to the bar cart. Erik fixed a shot glass of Don Julio and handed it to me. Taking it, I scrunched my face at him. âLet me get mineâ he stated as he poured himself a shot. âTo a great night!â Erik stated as his shot glass collided with mine. Taking the shot, my face scrunched in disgust and I got out of bed and placed the empty shot glass on the bar cart. I opened the screen door and stood out on the rooftop. Motioning for Erik to come to me, I placed my arms around his neck, looking in his eyes as he held my waist. âWho wouldâve thought huh?â He questioned. âThought what?â I asked smiling. âThat youâd be so be so âfreeâ, didnât think you had it in youâ he chuckled smacking my ass. I rolled my eyes âIt was just the liquor, I donât get down like thatâ I replied looking away, ashamed to say the least. Erik lifted my chin to get my attention âItâs okay.â He smiled revealing his dimples. âItâs okay to admit you like pussy on occasions. I mean, you couldâve fooled me, shorty was definitely feeling youâ Erik teased. You pulled away from him annoyed that he was amused at your newfound hidden treasure. âDonât be like that Noelle, Iâm just talkingâ he says walking towards me. âHowâd you know Iâd go through with it anyway?â You asked. âI didnât. But, after spending so much time with you, I figured youâd be the type to try something at least onceâ he admitted. You scoffed in displeasure. âErik!â I objected. âI like this new you way better. Remember when we met that night at the club? You had just gotten off work, you were upset about a submission being rejected and you talked to me the entire night at the bar about it. And ever since then, and every night after, youâve spent thrilling nights with meâ he consoled, walking behind you wrapping his arms around your waist.
âDamn you still remember that?â I questioned with a smile to my face, not realizing how much Erik really pays attention to you. âHow could I forget Elle? You were too drunk to drive home. I didnât feel comfortable with you leaving in an Uber that night. You threw up in the front seat of my Maserati. You cried the whole way to my place insisting youâd buy me a new carâ Erik laughed. âI havenât been able to get rid of your stuck up ass since!â He said with a kiss to my cheek. Turning to meet his gaze I toyed with his dreads as we shifted around the rooftop under the night sky. âNever thought youâd be the type to go for a girl in corporate anyway.â You admitted. âItâs a kink of mine, a fantasy of some sortâ he embellished. âShut up!â I replied hitting him in the chest. Our moment of laughter subsided as silence fell upon us. Exhaling I couldnât believe that I had been so lucky to have met such a perfect man. Erik was edgy, he could be a romantic but heâd make you work for it. Erik was a businessman, and part time trainer. In my eyes he was a jack of all trades, the perfect catch to my damsel in distress facade.
âI need to tell you somethingâ Erik interrupted, âWhats up?â I asked. âIâve gotta go out of town tomorrow for a business tripâ he said. âFor how long?â I asked rubbing his arms. Erik looked at me uneasy, â3 weeksâ he said. My eyes widened âErik! Come on, you promised you wouldnât be away like this anymore!â I whined, walking away from him. âI know, I know baby but duty callsâ Erik said taking my hand. âThe last time you were gone for a month, and I couldnât take itâ I said pulling away, walking back into the penthouse.
âWhy would you spring it on me like this so sudden?!â I questioned. âBecause, if I wouldâve told you ahead of time, you wouldnât have come out tonight! I know how you get when I leaveâ he huffed. I rolled my eyes and folded my arms in my chest, âCan you blame me?!â I asked. âYeah I can, because if the shoe were on the other foot I would be by your side on your last day!â Erik argued. âBaby, whoâs gonna pay for this penthouse? My Maserati? What about that diamond necklace around your neck? You know I gotta workâ Erik continued. âI have my own money Erik. I donât care if you buy me expensive thingsâ I snapped, removing my black silk robe.
âYou know I want my baby in the best there is. Donât do me like that.â Erik concluded. Ignoring his comment I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. My feelings were shaken over the fact that Erik was leaving tomorrow, and heâs just now telling me. Weâve had such a great day but I feel like such a fool for involving myself in a scandalous situation with a beautiful stranger. To top it off, what am I supposed to do now knowing that my coming nights will be spent lonely and uneventful without his touch?
As the water cascaded down my body, my thoughts were interrupted by a cool breeze in the shower. âCouldnât wait for me?â Erik asked playfully joining me. I glared at him and proceeded to apply the shower gel to my pouf under the water. âLet me get that for youâ he said taking the pouf from my hand, forming bubbles with his hands, and applying the pouf to my body, cleaning me. âYou know you canât stay mad at me all night Princessâ Erik smiled, grabbing my waist with one arm continuing to lather my body with the bubbly pouf.
âIâm not with that Princess shit tonight. I shouldâve known something was up. You always get extra sweet with me when youâre about to leave Erik!â I snapped. Erik stopped bathing me, âNoelle thereâs gonna be times where weâre not going to see each other and itâs okay. Itâs just three weeks, stop actinââ Erik snapped. I snatched the pouf out of his hands and stood under the water, finishing my shower. âWhatever Erik. You just make sure you donât give me a reason to pull upâ I remarked, now rinsing my body.
âPull up? Who are you?â Erik said gruffly walking over to me. His hand met the side of my face, gently caressing it âDonât tempt me Princessâ he warned flashing his gold grills. The way he looked at me, it lit a fire inside of my body. I couldnât help but get turned on at his aggressive demeanor. Without a doubt, Erik always kept his word and I need not ask questions. âIâll do what I have to do. Donât be out here embarrassing meâ I replied stepping away from him, exiting the shower. I dried off and massaged my skin in coconut body oil. I walked into Erikâs closet and grabbed a t-shirt to sleep in. Climbing into bed, I grabbed my phone and noticed I had an Instagram DM from someone named âLex đŠâ I was tempted to check it, but decided not to considering my time is now limited with Erik. Locking my phone I placed my phone back on the nightstand and snuggled under the covers waiting for him to get out of the shower.
Erik walked into the bedroom with a towel around his waist. He grabbed my bottle of coconut oil and massaged it into his skin. Erik sat on the bed in front of me, handing me the bottle âDo you mind?â He questioned with a quick shake of his dreads. I giggled as the droplets of water hit against my skin. Squiring oil into my hands I massaged the the oil into Erikâs strong back and shoulders. My hands caressed his neck I slowly leaned against his back with my arms wrapped around his neck. âI donât like fighting with youâ I whispered. âNeither do Iâ he replied lowly. There was something tender about this moment as I embraced Erik. This would be our second time apart and quite frankly, the more time I spent with him, the more attached Iâve become.
Erik pulled me into his lap and stared at me. âIâm doing what I gotta do for us. Donât ever think that Iâm not keeping you in mind. Hopefully I wonât have to be away like this for much longerâ he said before kissing me. I wrapped arms around his neck deepening the kiss as my tongue invaded his lips gladly accepting my offer. Breaking the kiss, Erik leaned down and grabbed the bottle of coconut oil and placed it on the nightstand. Leaving his embrace, I crawled into bed and turned off the lamp on the nightstand on my side of the bed. Erik stood to his feet as the towel dropped from his body and climbed into bed hovering over me.
âI hate it when youâre mad at meâ he whispered kissing my forehead. My hands caressed his face and I placed soft kisses to his lips. Lifting the shirt over my head, Erik buried his face into my chest, placing soft kisses and love marks on my nipples. Low groans left my lips as I watched his kisses trail down to my warm center. Grinning, Erik stuck his tongue out playfully licking the outside of my nub anticipating my reaction. I couldnât help but cackle loudly at his childish behavior. âOh come on!â I laughed. My laughter was soon replaced with moans as Erikâs tongue separated my folds. My bottom lip tucked between my lips, all I could do was hiss at the sensation that his tongue provided to my clit. Erik wasnât afraid to get messy, his hands pried my lips back to reveal my succulent, swollen clit. My breathing became hitched as his tongue zig zagged, and flickered against me while he sucked me dry. My sensitive nerve endings triggered a lightning bolt sensation in my left leg as he inserted three fingers inside my tight hole. âFuckkk!â I groaned as my back arched. I was strokes away from creaming all over this man. With the combination of sucking, licking and pounding to my pussy, Erikâs technique was unmatched, he sent an earth shattering orgasm to my body causing my body to contort in angles.
Erik hovered over me smiling, his lips were juicy from my folds. Sitting up on my elbows I pulled him into a kiss to taste myself. Moaning on his lips, I was now ready for a dick down. Placing my feet on his shoulders, Erik lined himself up at my entrance. Slowly, he filled me, but I was greedy and I wanted as much as my pussy could muster. Before I could utter a word, Erik plunged into me causing me to gasp. The surprise to my body resulted in a slick smile. âFreaky assâ Erik cooed. âFor you daddyâ i remarked seductively. To Erik, Daddy was the code word for Say Less, and before I knew it his dick took me to heights unknown and my pussy took every stroke with pleasure. Dick like this was a privilege to receive, a gift I dare not take for granted. Erik made sure that I wouldnât forget this night, this dick, or anymore moments hereafter. I donât think there would be any luck in saving these sheets, the amount of times Iâve squirted and accepted his seed, were endless. My cries couldâve been heard all over LA tonight and I didnât care as long as I was with him.
**
The drive to your luxury condo was silent. After such an eventful night, there wasnât anything else left to say. Asking Erik to stay wasnât an option. You were never the type to come between a man and his money, but something pulled on your heart strings that something about this business trip was off. This would be the second time that Erik would tell you last minute that he was going away. It was too early and too soon to insist that this is just how Erik is, or if the business trip was a spur of the moment thing from his job. Whatever it is, you hoped he was right, maybe it would be over soon and you two would never be apart again.
Erik pulled into the driveway and grabbed your bag for you. Walking you inside he placed your bag on the couch and stared at you. âCome on Noelle, I donât wanna be late. Come kiss me goodbyeâ he said standing there looking lonely. You glared at him, still upset. You made a pitiful stride over to Erik and wrapped your arms around him. âCome here Princessâ he spoke softly against your ear pulling you into a kiss. His hands roamed your ass with a good squeeze. He looked in your eyes and smiled, âI promise I wonât be gone long.â He said with another kiss. âCall Lex to keep you company until I get back.â He smirked. âThat was a one time thingâ you whined rolling your eyes feeling a tantrum coming on. âYou have my permission, itâll make the time pass by. Itâll make you think about me while Iâm awayâ he encouraged pulling you back into his embrace. Lifting your chin to him Erik kissed you passionately. âAnd whatever you two get into while Iâm away, you better FaceTime me that shitâ he chuckled. You groaned in annoyance, âI just want you to have some fun while Iâm away. Youâll always be mine, so donât give my shit to nobody else but her, if you must. So when I get back I can show you whoâs the King around hereâ Erik teased seductively kissing you again. âBut I gotta go, Iâll call you when I land Princessâ Erik says with a final kiss goodbye.
As the door closed behind him, loneliness began to settle in. These past 5 weeks have been been phenomenal and now you hadnât a clue of what to do with yourself. You walked over to the door and locked it and pulled your phone out of your pocket to call your homegirl Remi. Itâs been a while since you two have spoken considering your hectic work schedules and your nightly rendezvous with Erik, you seemed to have neglected your best friend. Unbeknownst to Remi, she wasnât quite up to speed on your love life let alone your newfound hidden secret.
As you and Remi talked on the phone, you connected your iPhone to your AirPods to multitask on your phone. You pulled up Instagram and decided to respond back to the DM from Lex đŠ. Scrolling through pictures it was quite clear that this was the beautiful stranger from last night. Replying to her DM made you nervous as your thoughts ran wild thinking about last night. Your thoughts were interrupted by Remi yelling at you, she hated when she felt she was being ignored. Remi was the total opposite of you, you were reserved and a bit of an introvert. You had a type A personality whereas Remi was outgoing and very blunt.
Remi was the epitome of a social butterfly, she knew no stranger and will tell it like it is if she had to. Not to mention she would fuck a bitch up if a bitch got crazy. Calming Remi down reassuring her that you were listening to her story, you decided to take Erik up on his offer. You didnât want to speak too soon and tell him, but maybe this would get your mind off of him being away for now.. you decided to be bold and exchanged numbers with Lex, minutes later as the conversation continued you dropped location for her to pull up. Placing your phone on the coffee table you continued talking to Remi through your AirPods while you poured yourself a glass of wine. Remi always joked with you saying you were too boujee for liquor, she hated coming to your condo knowing you only had wine to drink. You two began to debate over which alcoholic beverage would give you the biggest buzz comparing brown vs white and then liquor vs wine. Before you knew it a shouting match ensured followed by a lot of cackling.
A knock came to the door, interrupting your conversation âHold on Rem, thereâs someone at the doorâ you say still holding your glass of wine. âGirl itâs probably the neighbors, you know you donât have company!â Remi joked. âShut up heffaâ you reply unlocking the door keeping the chain on the door. There she was, Lex 𩠠. Your heart skipped a beat. âUm Rem, I think thereâs something going on with the neighbors. Lemme call you back sisâ you say âStay outta other folks business!â Remi yells.
Double tapping the AirPod you hung up on Remi and placed the buds in your pocket. âJust a secondâ you call out. Closing the door quickly, you undid the chain lock on your door and opened the door to let her in. âErik said Iâd be hearing from youâ she said walking in. Closing and locking the door behind her, you took a sip of wine and smiled. âWould you like a glass?â You asked.

And So It Starts
Wordcount: 2,063Â
Warning: ANGST and I guess Spoilers maybe
Authors notes : I wanted to do a big story to introduce my new character Astrid Sodotirr that I made for Loki and I really really hope you guys like her.
"I'll tell you jail is no fun." One of the women around the table remarked, "Agnes, you've been to jail?" the familiar-looking redhead said, sitting across from the lady who was now known as Agnes. "Once, in Monopoly." she laughed as they soon looked at their new "neighbor." She had a look of confusion on her face, almost as if she didn't belong. "Ah dear, what was your name again?" Agnes asked, watching as the curly brunette shook from her trance. "Astrid, Astrid Sodotirr." she looked at them both. The redhead had a look of discomfort while Agnes on, the other hand, was thrilled,
 " So Scandinavian." she smirked, "Interesting, unlike my husband, Ralph." she then turned, "Isn't that right Wanda,"Â
"Uh yes... Sodotirr like the goddess of chaos?" she asked as Astrid looked at her, her usual garments replaced with 80's activewear. "Yes, my mom was huge into Mythology ." she laughed, finding that her voice didn't even sound like her own. It felt like a fantasy world, something that not even her magic could comprehend.Â
"My mother was just heavy into drinking." Agnes joked,Â
"Well, girls, I should go get going. Ralph isn't going to rub lotion on himself..." She winked, leaving. Wanda and Astrid stood in the living room waiting for her obnoxious neighbor to walk away before orbs of teal and red appeared from their hands. "Why are you here..." Wanda growled, "We all saw you die..." Astrid dodged the red beam,Â
"Do that again, Maximoff, and you'll join Vision and your brother!" she threw out a blast, "Then tell me how you broke in..." her eyes glowing red,Â
"I DON'T KNO-" she stopped talking as the sound of footsteps marched up the driveway of the 80s household Astrid. began taking the green stone out of her sweatband,Â
"I think they're here for you ..." Astrid whispered as one of them took the stone out of her hand, "Hey!"Â
"Variant found..." one of the minutemen said as two others grabbed onto her,Â
"On behalf of the Time-Variant Authority, I here by arrest you for crimes against the sacred timeline."
"She's the one making false realties!" Astrid snarled at the witch,Â
"Hands up, you're coming with us..."Â
"Glady..." Astrid smirked, lifting her hands striking two of the minutemen. As she ran up the block, Astrid was falling slowly to the ground in slow motion.
"She stole the Time sto-" Wanda tried to finish.Â
"Reset the timeline..." the soldier said as they pushed the young woman through a portal, "Hey, I'm a princess, careful how you man handle me!" she growled, looking at the grossly colored orange walls. Taking her to what seemed like a receptionist desk as a young blonde man sat chipper and happy logging her into their system, "What species..." he asked,
"Asgardian... and she brought this with her..." the minuteman threw the stone on the desk.
"Oh great, another paperweight."
"Mobius, just get rid of it..." she sighed, cranking the lever as she threw Astrid inside the elevators,Â
"When Loki finds out about this... he... he won't be... WOAH!" a robotic arm touched her vibrant pink leotard, "I'm not that easy." she grumbled as the machine told her to hold still, lasering off the tacky 80's clothing leaving her in absolutely nothing as a trapped door opened,Â
Astrid was standing in front of a stack of papers dressed in a tan jumpsuit with TVA on it, "Please verify this is everything you've ever said." a voice said, startling her.Â
"What in Odin's missing eye is this," she said, another piece added to the pile.
"Please verify this is everything you've ever said." he handed her a pin as she began signing away. Astrid began to think that maybe marrying Thor would have been a safer option than whatever this was. As another trap door opened, Astrid stood in front of a metal detector.
 "Please confirm to your knowledge that you are not a fully robotic being, were born an organic creature, and do possess what many cultures would call a soul." Astrid looked down towards the voice as her brows furrowed from the question, "Do people not know they're robots..." she asked, walking through as the machine took her picture, "Because if they didn't know..."
"They'd melt, now take your temporal aurora and walk through the door..." he sighed, watching as burst through as if she owned the place. Brown walls and bright lights paved her path while two-minute men watched and gestured to the take-a-ticket sign. "You have got to be kidding me," she mumbled as she took a ticket, walking through the guided path. Astrid watched as other prisoners went through, while others erased.Â
"Next case!" Astrid walked through the door's benches full of people, " Sodotirr, Variant A1020, AKA Astrid Sodotirr, charged with sequence violation 7-20-80." the judge said, walking to the stand. Astrid grumbled in aggravation,
" And who would I have the honor of these charges being blessed upon me by? "
"The timekeepers..." The judge said.Â
"Oh, the ones from the annoying clock lady..." she nodded as a few guards snickered,Â
"How do you plead..."
"I've only ever pleaded to one man... on occasion a few women..." she winked, "Now if you excuse me, I really should be go-" she snapped her fingers as nothing happened, "I should be going..." she mumbled, "Hold on..."Â
"If you're trying to use your powers, they don't work here now. However, I find you guilty, and perhaps pruning you would do just fine..." The judge hit her mallet until one of the minutemen whispered in her ear.
 "Pruned... I don't like the sound of that."
"It has come to my concern that... Ravonna will be your consoler. Take the variant away..." the judge sighed as Astrid breathed, the once minuteman guiding her towards the elevator.Â
"I'm Ravonna Renslayer, now a Time agent of the TVA." she smiled at the variant.Â
"How long have you been here?"
"Well, you know what they say. Time passes differently here in the TVA." she nodded, leading her out the elevator and around the halls of the main building, "How cute, you know you should've done your research before deciding to go after me..." Astrid said, turning her head as her curls bounced along. As the doors opened, the two sat in front of a tiny TV, "Trust me. We've been doing our research since you were deemed crowned and named princess and goddess." She laughed, putting the flash drive in as she started her file. Â
"You know you're surprisingly good at complying..."
"Happens when you get told to all your life..." she mumbled. Astrid looked up at the screen memories played, some that were pleasant and some there were, "That one's a bit risky... If I were you, I'd skip it." she laughed, watching as the scene of a harvest festival on Asgard played.Â
There stood Sif, Thor, and Loki. Astrid, who was taste testing ale, had been a little tipsy. She found herself clinging onto Loki. She appeared to be younger, no more than 16 at the time. Dressed in gold to "compliment": Thor, her only view was the Prince of Asgard. "What would your mother say if she found you so full..." Loki winked. Tilting her chin up, "She'd say absolutely nothing because you are not to tell her..." Astrid gave him a burst of laughter sweeter than all the honey of Asgard,
 "Oh but, I might..." he leaned in closer to her, their foreheads touching, "Then I'll tell Odin you took me away from Thor..." she whispered, stealing a kiss from him.
"You cheeky Minx.." he laughed.
"So why Loki..." Ravonna asked,
"Maybe I am..." she responded to the memory, clearing her throat, "Well, we understood each other..." she folded her hands together. "We were different yet so similar." her heart sinking in her chest as the last memories of Loki passed through, "Would you say your childhoods were the same..." Ravonna asked, not even savoring her answer. Before she could finish, there stood the memory of her mother locking her in a tower.Â
"You are courageous yet dumb... you are a disappointment I wish I never birthed..." Amidala laughed, yanking at the chain around her neck. "Purposeless child.."
"I was born with a purpose!" she shouted at the screen, "One you'd never see coming, one of courage and rage..." a tear falling on her cheek, Ravonna made a side note in her notepad, " You know for someone who's such a threat you don't act like one..."
Astrid turned to face her, her hands gripping on the table, "Just a sad little girl who thinks she knows what she's doing... when her purpose was to die..."
"Everyone dies..."Â
"Yes, but not how you did..."Â
"First Wanda, now you." She laughed, "What is this about me, the all-mighty Astrid of Vanaheim dying," Astrid asked, "Perhaps, I'll leave you with what happened before you screwed up the timeline..." she smirked, walking out the spacious holding cell.
 "This is against the Norns for a mere puny human to tell me how I died." her back facing the screen as she heard an all so familiar scene.
 "The rightful king of the Ottenheim God of mischief do hereby pledge to you my undying fidelity..."Â
"Loki, wait!" Astrid ran towards Loki, his dagger not yet lodging into Thanos. The two looked over as Thanos only laughed, "Undying, you should choose your words carefully..." he laughed, throwing Astrid against a jagged rock watching as he snapped Loki's neck sat Thor, who had to watch the two people in his life waste away in front of him.Â
"Don't... leave... m..."
END OF FILE
"Some courage ... " Ravonna laughed, "It got you killed... why would you do that..."Â
"I wanted affection... I wanted attention. I wanted to be perfect..." she sobbed in the corner,Â
"That's pathetically sad..." Ravonna then got an idea, "But if you work with us, you can have those things. " she stuck her hand out, watching as the goddess looked up at her like a scared child looking for hope.Â
"Alright, we've got a variant..." Mobius sighed, "Astrid is this one right... Astrid?" he questioned. Astrid ran over as she saw a Loki variant tapping him on the shoulder. He took out his dagger, placing it near her neck,
 "How attractive..." she rolled her eyes,Â
"You insolent worm, I should feed you to the fish who feed upon Odin..."Â
"Nice try..." she used her powers to immobilize him. Being a Time-Variant hunter had been slowly running her down. After all, she figured out how to play their game then attack,Â
But it was getting hard when they were looking for Loki and herself. "Take him away..." she sighed, walking into the office back to Casey's receptionist office as her eyes laid upon a suspicious blue box.Â
"Hey, you know what this is..."Â
"Tesseract... and It's very dangerous and..." she picked him up by his shoulders, "By the Norns, if you do not tell me who was wielding this, you will wish to whatever God you pray to that they have mercy over you..." she threatened him.
"He's an Asgardian..." Casey gulped.
"Where did he go..."Â
"Behind that door, I think..." Astrid tried to pull the lever, "You're not authorized!" he shouted, watching as she went to the elevator, only taking her back to her cell. Her ears pressed against the door as she heard Mobius talking as he usually did, but this time a voice she had recognized too well.Â
"Where are you taking me... by the grace of, Astrid you'll."
"You really don't like talking much, do you, little fella," Mobius sighed, shoving him in the cell. What felt like hours was only minutes when Mobius felt like he had gotten nowhere at all. As Mobius left the cell, so did Astrid. Following the footsteps of and the smell of Asgard's finest colognes, she found herself at Caseyâs desk: the draw open with scattered infinity stones showing just how powerful the TVA was struck a bit of fear in the Goddesses' heart. Â
"Where was he..."Â
"I don't know... But, uh, what's a fish?" Astrid laughed, "I'll tell you later." she laughed, walking back as a hand reached out and pulled her into a cell.Â
Lips crashing on top of hers bodies pressed together.Â
" Astrid, my love..."Â
"Loki..." she asked.

read on wattpad
Addie thinks she must be wrong. Of all places, he canât be here.
ââIt all begins with Addieâs roommate waking up to no bread, no milk, no cereal, and an abundance of an alcohol-induced mess. It was the brunetteâs rare night off to party, so Marianne woke up to quite literally nothing. Now, itâs almost noon, and Addieâs got a nasty headache right behind her eyebrows, an odd taste in her mouth, and a nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach.Â
âââFood,â demands Marianne. âIâm starving.â
ââAddie pokes her head out of the bathroom, holding up two fingers. Marianne just rolls her eyes and drapes herself over the couch with a groan that Addie drowns out with her toothbrush.Â
ââShe splashes some cold water onto her face, rubbing some moisturiser into it afterwards. Doesnât do much â her eyes are still bloodshot, under-eye circles dark, skin dry and lips chapped even with lip balm on it. Addie just sighs. Thisâll require sunglasses which, in turn, will require contact lenses.Â
âââTwo more minutes!â
ââAnother groan from Marianne. âMerde, Addie!â
ââFirst contact in. She blinks it into place, ignoring its dryness. âIâll be back before you know it.â Second in. âAnd Iâll bring you some chocolate.â
âââAw. You will?â
âââYes. For emotional disturbances.â
ââMarianne beams at her from the couch. Noon sun shines on her through the window as she basks in the light, looking all fresh and ready to take on the day.Â
ââAddie envies her. Not like sheâd ever admit it, though.Â
âââYouâre a godsend,â Marianne tells her. âWhen youâre not the devilâs menace, obviously. Today shall be your lucky day.â
âââShall it?â Addie quirks an eyebrow at her, grabbing a purse from the drawer in the hallway with a smile dancing in the corner of her lips.Â
ââThe blonde-haired girl hmms, her eyes closed and arms raised up in the air. In the tiniest voice, she says: âI am throwing my blessings at you now.â She outstretches her hands in what looks to Addie like a kung-fu move, fully accompanied by a half-breathed half-voiced âHA!â
âââYou done?â
ââMarianne grins. âYes. Now please go get me some food.â
âââTea for when Iâm back?â
âââYes, maâam. The finest the British Isles have to offer.â
âââYouâre not even British.â
âââHalf,â says Marianne. âHalf is enough.â
âââYeah, but the other half is French.â
ââMarianne just rolls her eyes, and Addie revels in the fact that there'll be a hot cup of tea waiting for her when she comes back with the groceries. Equipped with her iPhone and earphones, a foldable IKEA bag, some money, and sunglasses big enough to cover her hungover mess of a face, Addie leaves the small apartment.Â
ââSummer in Atlanta is something Addie hasnât experienced before. People get a lot more vibrant, thereâs more joggers than usual, and people with dogs and kids venture out of their homes more often. Thereâs also the filming aspect, increased during summer, which generally means that thereâll be at least one street blocked for public per day â an inconvenience that made her be late for class more than once.Â
ââTo Addie, itâs starting to feel like home. Warm and filled with a light breeze, the place lively and bright.Â
ââOr, possibly, itâs just that she starts to listen to music that makes her feel that way.Â
ââThe local Tesco of Rockdale county is on the main road, and it takes Addie five songs to get there. Itâs busy as always, and Addie gets herself a plastic basket at the entrance, pulling up the grocery list on the notes app. Itâs mostly food â they ran out of almost everything the day before, and drunk Addie finished whatever little was left, so this is going to be half a week's worth of shopping.Â
ââAddie rummages through the isles with ease, almost on autopilot. Memories from last night resurface, blurry and hazed, and she rubs her temples with the heels of her hands.Â
ââlast night was something else, she thinks. The music in her ears is loud and she glances up as sheâs about to turn the corner, basket full of veggies so far, and she makes eye contact with a person that looks vaguely familiar.Â
ââShe looks away.Â
ââThen she looks back at them, an almost unnoticeable frown on her face. Heâs tall, with dark blonde hair underneath a baseball cap, and itâs not until he leans forward to grab something off the canned goods section that she realises who it is.Â
ââholy fucking moly itâs drew fucking starkey
ââAddie freezes in place as her brain computes the visual in front of her and attaches it to the memory of his face, on her projector screen, in her and Marianneâs living room.Â
ââIt doesnât seem right to see him here, shopping at Tesco, looking so different from the person sheâs used to seeing that she almost didnât recognise him. However, itâs still him, so Addie gathers all her courage and walks into the isle across from hers, until sheâs right next to him. ââ
âââHi,â she says. âSorry, I donât mean to bother you, but â youâre Drew Starkey, right?â
ââHer voice is hushed, and itâs on purpose â sheâs fairly certain neither of them would like a bunch of people to come over here. Addie doesnât know how big the fanbase is, but if she managed to recognise him (almost) off the bat, itâs highly likely there'd be at least a few more people knowing him. It might be just a few months since the showâs release, but itâs gathered quite a bit of attention.Â
ââThe moment seems to unfreeze, and the guy in front of her nods, almost reluctantly. âYeah, thatâs me.â
âââOh, cool. I really liked what you did with Rafe. I donât know anything about acting and all that, but you gave me chills in the scenes where Rafe is losing his mind, and I canât even hate him because of how sorry I feel for him.â
ââDrew watches her with a bland, cautious expression on his face for a second, until he breaks out into one of the biggest smiles she's ever seen. Itâs a nice smile â he looks like the boy next door, or the one guy who would be popular in high school (probably a quarterback), or someone she could just trust.Â
ââDamn.
âââThanks,â he says, finally. His shoulders donât seem as tense anymore despite still being about a good half-foot taller than Addie, the difference doesnât seem as drastic anymore. âIâm glad you liked it. You are supposed to hate him, though.â
ââAddie scoffs, shaking her head, even though thereâs still a smile on her lips. âCome on. His freaking dad hates him, his friends are all sixteen or whatever. No wonder heâs so messed up.â
âââBut he is messed up.â
âââOh yeah, he should rot in jail, totally.â Addie makes a vague waving motion with her hand. âThatâs my point, anyway. I hate him but I feel bad for him and I don't think I wouldâve if you werenât so good at what you do.â
ââDrewâs smile just grows and he laughs, a little. Itâs a fleeting moment, but Addie likes it. Quite a bit, actually. Shame he doesnât get to do that often as Rafe.Â
âââThank you so much, honestly. I thought people would hate me because of Rafe.â
âââAre you kidding? Are people actually like that?â
ââHe makes a vague gesture with his hand (a lot like the one she did earlier) and sighs. âYou wouldnât believe me if I told you.â
âââDamn.â Addie shakes her head. âWell, um, I should probably get going. It was nice meeting you.â
âââWe didnât actually meet,â he says, with a face that is waiting for her to clock it, except she doesnât. âYou havenât told me your name.â
âââOh! Oh my god, yeah, sorry â Itâs Addison. Addie, for short.â
ââDrew extends his hand; itâs warm when she takes it, and his grip is as firm as hers. âNice to meet you, Addie.â
âââYou too, Drew.â
ââItâs the moment that their hands fall to each their own side that Addie notices the beginning of awkwardness in the situation. She smiles at him and tells him goodbye, ready to let him go, until she starts thinking about how Marianne is going to flip her shit and wonât even believe her and thenâ
âââDrew! Hi. Sorry again.âÂ
ââAddieâs got a hand on his shoulder and taps it twice, just enough for him to turn around with the same kind smile. Sheâs got half a second to wonder if itâs because he knows sheâs not some wild fan, or because heâs just like that.Â
âââItâs okay, donât worry.â
ââShe gives him the best apologetic face she can muster. âCan we take a photo? My roommate isnât going to believe me otherwise.â
ââDrew laughs, and something falls off of Addieâs chest. He agrees to it, she takes the selfieâcursing the way sheâs going to look on it considering she had to put her sunglasses on top of her hair when she entered the storeâand his armâs curved around her shoulder, pulling her close.
âââThank you!â
âââItâs really no problem.â They look at the photoâitâs as good as they getâand Drew lets out a breathy laugh. âShit, we got the same phone.â
âââSeriously?â
âââYeah, look.â
ââHe fishes his phone out of his jacket and, true to his word, they look exactly alike. Itâs just a plain black iPhone, but neither of them has a case or anything attached to it, and the two of them laugh. Drew even takes them both and compares them to one another, showing that the only actual difference are the lock screens. Marianne and Addie for hers, and Chase making a grimace for Drew. Someone walks behind them, eyeing them uncomfortably, and Addie sees Drew tug his hat lower.Â
ââShe really hopes she didnât disturb him by all this. If heâs to be believed then she didnât, but she can never know.Â
âââOkay,â she says, âIâll actually get going now.â
ââDrew nods. He recovers in a flash and thereâs not a trace of discomfort on his face. âNice meeting you again.â
ââAddie just laughs, takes the phone heâs handing her, tells him bye, and walks away.Â
ââWithout turning back, this time.Â
ââThe rest of her shopping goes smoothly. She wants to message Marianne, but sheâs also kind of freaking out, or her hangover is acting up, because sheâs feeling nauseous and excited and her heart is definitely about to destroy her ribcage. What she does is just keep going on with her shopping as usual, and focus on the things she actually needs.Â
ââBut when she reaches into her pocket to look at the shopping list, itâs Chaseâs face that stares back at her, and her heart doesnât leap out of her chest â it sinks all the way into the hangover-shaped hole in her stomach, and a wave of anxiety rushes through her.Â
ââAddie looks for Drew all around the store for a solid ten minutes, but she canât find him. She asks the workers, all of them, and sheâs almost ready to give up, when one of them tells her theyâve seen him walk out of the store, shopping bags in tow.Â
ââShe leaves her things in the store, sets the basket aside, and runs through the checkout and onto the parking lot. She calls his name, over and over again, but heâs not here anymore.Â
ââHe left. With her phone.Â
ââSo Addie does the only thing that will soothe her anxiety to a moderate level â go back inside, take her basket, and continue what she came here for. Sheâll only be able to deal with the phone situation when either Drew comes back for it (possibly?), or when she texts the number from Marianneâs phone.Â
ââDrew doesnât come back, so Addie comes home with an insane story, a phone to find, and no chocolate for Marianne.

Iâm having your baby..
Part 1: Congratulations
---
Harryâs name and photo popped up on your screen as he called. âHarry?â you answered anxiously.
âHey, uh do you have a minute?â
You walked into the kitchen looking for an excuse. You just weren't ready to have this talk yet. âUhmm actually I was just about to-â
â(y/n) seriously we need to talk.â Harry sounded annoyed and you didn't like that. Normally on the phone with you he was happy and cheeky, telling jokes, and asking a million questions. This conversation just seemed so dry, so unlike him. It seemed like he was scolding you almost.
âI guess I have a minute...â you mumbled sitting on the barstool in the kitchen. âWhat seems to be the problem Harold?â you gave the attitude right back, not in the mood for one of his mood swings.
âWell I was thinking maybe we should talk about the things Iâm currently being tagged in online. The articles about you. Specifically about you being pregnant. Donât you think thats something we might need to discuss?â
You were twirling your hair through your fingers anxiously and wondered if he was doing the same...even though he sounded more mad than anxious. âI mean I don't know is it? If anyones pregnant, not saying I am or anything, but it's me and not you who's actually affected so what's the big deal? You can still go off and live your life, touring the world, singing, writing albums in complete isolation, and then hooking up with random girls you meet at the bar. Living your best rock star life Harry. You know what? I have a question for you. Why do these things, these articles, these tweets, and stories about me bother you now. It's been weeks, you haven't even called or texted. You probably haven't thought about me either. Actually, haven't you moved on by now? Isnât it that time where you find someone new, someone better, someone more fit in managements eyes, someone your fans will approve of?â You bit down on your lip while holding back tears. This is not where you wanted this to go but here it was. There was no going back now. Harry had opened a door he probably hadn't meant to.
Harry sighed into the phone and cleared his throat before speaking again. âAll I want to know is if you're pregnant and if the baby is mine. Thatâs it. Itâs an easy and quick answer (y/n).â
âFuck you Harry.â He was pissing you off now. He was acting like nothing mattered and like getting pregnant was your fault. âI am pregnant with your baby but guess what itâs none of your damn business.â you hung up and dropped the phone on the counter, tears rushing down your cheeks. Why did he have to be like that? Didnât he think that this was hard on you too? Didnât he understand that you were panicking. Panicking about having a baby, growing a baby inside you, caring for the baby alone, telling people that you were about to become a single parent, affording everything the baby would need. The list continued to grow things that just would not work out. Your hands drifted to your lower stomach to where the baby was growing. Something about it comforted you at the same time. It made you feel less alone, less like Harry had left, and more like a part of him was still with you and for now, that was enough to remind you that a baby is a blessing no matter the situation. You would figure the rest out eventually.. itâll all work out...just give it time. These are the thoughts rushing through your head as the tears stopped. You were not about to let Harry destroy this moment for you. You walked upstairs and into the guest bedroom where you laid out the onesie and binkie on the bed. âThis is going to be your room little one...Iâll make sure its perfect by the time you get here. I promise.âÂ
After calming down a little you went to bed and pretty much stayed there until noon which is when you called Luke and asked him to come over. You wanted to talk things over with a rational voice, and well he was the only one other than Harry that knew you were pregnant. His noisy truck pulled up to your driveway and he ran inside trying to avoid the rain. âHey you.â he said setting a large bag of food on the counter. âI grabbed some Chinese food, figured you might be hungry.â
You smiled and kissed his cheek. âThanks, I don't think Iâve actually eaten anything all day.â
âWell thats not going to help you grow a baby...â he was digging into a box of rice, attempting to use his chop sticks.Â
âI guess you're right...I should probably look into what diet changes Iâll need to go through.â
âIsn't getting pregnant like an excuse to eat whatever you want whenever you want?â
âI mean kind of but noâ you laughed and grabbed some chicken from one of the containers. âIâll still have to watch what Iâm eating so I don't get diabetes or get fat...I don't want to look terrible once the baby is here...Iâm already getting all the hate for being pregnant let alone for being fat afterwards.â
Luke shook his head, dropping the chopsticks and using the fork. âBabies naturally cause you to gain weight, thats nothing to be ashamed of. Plus, I read some of those articles and I wouldn't say its hate. Most people are excited for you. And for Harry. Iâm guessing he knows now?â
You nodded and dropped your head to the counter. âHe knows. Doesnât change anything though does it? Heâs still not here, we are still not together, and he's still on tour doing whatever he wants.â Luke rubbed your shoulder and you looked up, more tears in your eyes as you thought about the situation again. You started crying and Luke squeezed your shoulder. You looked up at him sobs now echoing through your chest. âI just-I just miss him so much. I-Iâm all alone too.â
âI know (y/n)...I know.â Luke wiped the tears and smiled. âItâll get easier. I promise. I mean its only been a few weeks and Iâm sure the baby thing makes you think about him a little more but you know what? If heâs not here to see this baby grow, be born, and live, then thatâs on him. Youre going to be an amazing mother and Harryâs involvement or noninvolvement won't change that. And you are NOT alone. Iâm right here with you, and Iâll be at every doctors appointment, meeting, birthing class, whatever you need me for. Iâll be there.â You smiled and Luke looked relieved.Â
âI love you.â
âI love you too (y/n).â He hugged you tightly and you returned the favor, your chin resting on his shoulder. âNow, are you ready to down some of this food and watch a movie?â
You nodded and ate another piece of chicken. Luke returned to his chopsticks and the two of you ate pretty much everything. You stood up laughing and lifting your shirt. âI guess I have an excuse for looking a little chubby after eating far too much. My food baby is an actual baby too.â
Luke laughed and shook his head, âYou never look chubby though.âÂ
You rolled your eyes and followed him into the living room. The two of you cuddled up on the couch and under loads of blankets. You decided to watch The Parent Trap, something you both hadn't seen in a while, but you quickly fell asleep, exhausted from everything that day. You snuggled into Luke and he tightened his grip on you. The next thing you know, someone is pounding on your door. Luke who had also fallen asleep sat up confused. âAre you expecting anyone?â You rubbed your eyes shaking your head no. He stood up and walked to the door, opening it a bit to look out. You glanced at the clock, it was almost 3 am, why was anyone at your door. âI don't think this is a good time..â you heard Luke harshly whisper. You stood up and walked over to the door. Your heart sped up, your stomach did flips, and your mouth dropped open. Harry was standing on your doorstep, dripping wet, and shivering.Â
âHarry?â
âOf course you're here with him.â he shook his head and turned around.
âYeah heâs my friend, why wouldn't I hang out with him?â you snapped back following him outside. The rain was pouring, instantly soaking your clothes. The wind blowing was freezing your skin but you were mad now. âWhen has me and Luke hanging out ever been a problem? Iâve known him since I was 10, he's my best friend, he's- he's like my brother.â Harry had stopped and was watching you. His lip was between his teeth and his hair covering his eyes from being so wet. You glanced behind you and Luke had gone back inside, giving you the privacy you knew you needed. âWhy are you here Harry? Itâs super late, its wet, and its cold and-â
He ran his hands through his hair, slicking it back so he could look at you better. âWhy do you think Iâm here?â You crossed your arms across your stomach and frowned. Harry sighed and stepped closer. âTheres no way in hell that you carrying my baby isn't my business. How could you even think that? How could you even think I wouldn't be here for everything, for the appointments and well whatever else you need. I know it wasn't our plan and I know we are going through something but I want to be here. For you and for the baby.â
You had tears in your eyes but thankfully the rain was washing them away. You nodded and looked down. âHarry-â
â(y/n) please...let me be there-here let me help. Itâs my baby too.â He stepped closer and moved your hands away from your stomach. He got down on his knees, gently touched your belly and wiped his nose. He was crying too. Normally people crying made you uncomfortable and nervous, but Harry crying was one of the saddest things ever. He looked like a sad angel and that hurt you more than anyone would know. You instinctively reached out and touched his hair, wiping it away and wrapping your fingers in the curls. Harry looked up and smiled. âI cant believe it...theres a little baby in there. Its 50% you and 50% me..thats so crazy.â
You smiled and nodded, you had thought the same thing earlier today. âI uh- I have a picture. A picture of the baby. Itâs inside if you want to maybe see it..â Harry looked surprised but extremely happy. He nodded and you led him back inside to the kitchen. Luke was sitting at the table drinking a cup of tea confused by the fact that Harry was in your house. âItâs right here..â you showed him the black and white image magneted to the fridge.Â
âIts so tiny.â Harry looked in amazement and smiled. Luke was in the background mocking Harry and so you shot him a look. âThats like our baby.â He wrapped his arm around your shoulder and pulled you into a tight hug. Your nose burying in his soaking wet t-shirt. You wrapped your hands around him and smiled. It was okay to give in every now and then right? Might as well enjoy while its here? Harry wiped his nose again and you stepped back with a smile.Â
âAre you okay?â you asked, your hand lingering next to his.
âYeah its just a lot to take in..like the fact that I am going to be a dad..itâs just crazy.â Luke snorted and Harry looked over at him annoyed.
âI understand the feeling.â you touched his hand and his eyes shot back to yours with a small smile.
âIâm sorry I wasnt there for you yesterday...I should've known..I should've-â
âHarry...â
âThis is insane.â Luke walked over annoyed. â(y/n) what are you doing? What happened to the âIm a strong independent woman I don't need himâ vibe?â
Harry shot Luke a glance to which Luke responded. âI am strong and I don't need him...â Harry looked upset, hurt flashing through his eyes. You continued on, âI don't need him but I want him here...I want him to be there for the baby..â
Harry smirked and nodded. âI want to be there. For the baby and for you. I promise...Iâll be there for everything if you want me to be...I just want to get to see the baby grow and become like an actual baby. Just tell me what to do. Tell me I can be a part of this with you..â
You smiled and hugged him. âOf course I want you to be a part of everything. This is your baby too.â
Luke stood up frustrated and gave you a look. You stepped out of Harryâs arms and towards Luke. He shook his head and laughed. âIâm gonna go. Iâl talk to you later (y/n).âÂ
âLuke-â
âNot now.â Luke grabbed his jacket and then walked out, leaving you and Harry alone for the first time in weeks.Â
Harry sat down with a pleased expression on his face and you frowned. You don't know why Luke was acting like that. You didn't even know what caused the fight but for some reason it really really upset you. Tears fell down your cheeks again and Harry looked concerned. He walked over and pulled you into his chest, âWhatâs wrong love?â
âI just don't know why Luke is acting like that. Like why is he mad at me? I didn't do anything.âÂ
Harry wiped a tear and smiled, âitâs not you...he just has to figure things out and come to terms with the fact that Iâm here and Iâm staying. Itâll be okay.â
âPromise you won't leave me?â
âPromise. Iâm here for good- well for the next 18 years anyways.âÂ
âYou better be.â you yawned. It was now almost 4:30 am and you were falling asleep.Â
âI will beâ Harry whispered. âCome on, lets get you into bed.â Harry helped you upstairs and pulled back the covers.  You changed into some dry clothes and walked over and climbed in. Just the way you liked, Harry tucked you in.Â
You yawned again and he smiled, moving the hair that had fallen to your eyes. âIâll uh-Iâll sleep on the couch.â
âHarry, wait.â You looked over at him again. âChange into something dry and get in..please? I just sleep better well not alone..â Harry nodded and dropped his wet clothes to a pile on the floor. He rummaged through your closet, finding the one thing Harry had left- by accident by the way. It was just a t-shirt but he smiled and threw it on, climbing into his side of the bed. You rolled over and smiled, trying to keep your eyes open. âThank you for staying.â
He kissed your forehead and smiled. âAnytime love..â Your eyes closed and Harry scooted in closer, rubbing your arms slowly with his fingers. It was easy to say, you had the best night of sleep you had since Harry had left the first time. His scent, his touch, everything. It just made you sleep so much better and for that you were insanely grateful for that reason- and of course the fact he wanted to be part of the babies life.Â

Never Ending (Part 2)
Iâve had this in my drafts for a while now...Iâm happy with it but at the same time, Iâm not? Iâm just too critical of myself sometimes and this is one of those times because I want this to be a great sequel and possible series taking place in season 2 of The Punisher. Iâve polished it up and just decided to finally post it and get through it. So I hope you guys enjoy!
This is slowly starting to become Frank Castle x Reader and I donât know how that got away from me since this started as a Billy/Reader one shot. But I am here for it and enjoying what I have planned.
Part 1
Masterlist
(gif not mine)
=================================Â
Holy shit...holy shitâŠ
This was happening. Billy Russo, your ex and rightfully so, was standing in your living room. You had literally just heard not even a full hour ago that he had escaped and he was already here. Madani hadnât gotten your protection fast enough...hell would that have even helped?
âYou look good, Y/N.â Billy told you, a small and genuine smile on his face.
You chose to remain silent as you clutched the phone in your hand tightly, your thumb still hovering over the green button on Frankâs contact number.
âCome on. Sit down.â Billy motioned to your couch, a smile still intact on his face.
You glanced between Billy and the couch, your thumb pressing the green button on your phone. You tucked it in your back pocket, bottom side up so that the mic could pick up your conversation and Frank could hear...please let him pick up and not have this saved on his voicemail. You tried to keep from shaking, the anxiety in you skyrocketing so much that you swore your heart was about to burst from your chest. The moment you got to your couch, Billy held out his hand, his fingers motioning for you to give him something.
âI saw that, Y/N. Hang it up and pass me your phone.â He continued.
You sighed quietly to yourself. Goddammit. Nothing could get past him still. You slowly and reluctantly pulled your phone from your back pocket. Clenching your jaw, you pressed the big red button, ending the call. You stared at the screen for a moment...unwilling to part with the only thing that could connect you to the man who could help you.
âCome on.â He practically sang, a mischievous smile on his face.
You took a deep breath as the screen went dark. You passed your phone to Billy, resisting the urge to cry. You did not know what to expect from Billy...but you knew it most likely wouldnât end well for you.
âGood girl. Have a seat.âÂ
At this point, you knew that you had to do what he said...just long enough to buy some time to find a way out of this. You sat down, your body tense as you watched Billy drag one of the chairs nearby to sit in front of you.
âIâve been wondering, since I woke up, why I havenât seen you...itâs been confusing to me. So answer me this. Why havenât you come to visit me, Y/N?â Billy asked, his head slightly tilted with a genuine look of curiosity on his face.
Your glance lowered from Billyâs face and down to the floor space between the two of you. You decided to remain silent to prevent you from saying something out of either a place of anger or fear...you didnât want him to know you were scared. You needed to think about the words that were gonna come out of your mouth.
âIâve been told itâs been about 7 months, Y/N.â Billyâs voice slightly raised. âThatâs a long time to be apart from your fiance.â
âIâm not your fiance.â You countered almost immediately.
âThere she is.â His smile came back. âWas starting to wonder if you were ever gonna speak to me again.â
âWhat do you want from me, Billy?â
âJust some answers.â
âTo what?â
âWe can start with the basics. Where have you been?â
âYouâre kidding me, right? Did you really think I was gonna come back to you after the shit you pulled?â
âWhat shit?â
âDonât play dumb.â
Billy clenched his jaw, staring at you for a moment before standing in frustration. You slightly flinched at the quickness of his movement. A breath you didnât realize you were holding came out as Billy paced the room for a moment. He walked over to the window and stared out as the evening was slowly turning to night.
âI-I donât...I donât remember.â He told you with confusion laced in his tone.
Surprise filled your entire being at the tone of his voice. He has never sounded like that in the time you were with him. And were...were those tears brimming his eyes? Was he serious? Did he not really remember?Â
âYou donât remember?â You stated flatly, trying to remain skeptical so that he didnât pick up on your surprise.
âNo...last thing I remember was being with my old unit in Afghanistan and talking to you the night before. Imagine my surprise when my therapist told me that we werenât together anymore.â He finished his sentence, his gaze finding you once more.
Wait...was Dr. Dumont even allowed to mention that? Like, doctor/patient privilege? You had spoken to her previously because she had offered her services to you once. You had heard Billy was awake. You were standing outside his room, deciding if you wanted to confront him and tell him off because there were plenty you left unsaid after he dropped you off at that hotel. Thatâs when you met Dr. Krista Dumont. She was on her way in for Billyâs therapy when she talked to you for a little bit and gave you her card. You ended up speaking to her a few times before you had become a patient of hers.Â
âSheâs right, weâre not. So you should go.âÂ
Billy sat back down in the chair, reaching out for your hand. You fought your instincts to pull away because you didnât know if it would make him mad. Mad would not fair well for you as you still waited for a chance to escape.
âWhy arenât we together anymore, Y/N? What happened to us?â Billyâs voice was calm, gentle...the last time you heard him like that...doesnât matter. Not anymore.
âDumont didnât tell you what you did? She didnât tell you why there were guards posted at your room at all times of the day?â
âI-I know the charges but not the details.â
âMaybe itâs best that way, Billy.â
Billy dropped your hand as you watched his eyes move from side to side. He was desperately trying to remember. He was distracted enough for you to make a move. You darted up and made a run for your bedroom. Because of him, you still held onto that shotgun in your closet. You made halfway down the hallway before you felt Billyâs arms wrap around you. A scream left you as you fought to get out of his hold but to no avail. He had already picked you up and despite you grabbing onto anything you could, he carried you back to the living room. Billy set you back on your feet, pulling on your arm as you tried to go again; your fight or flight switch still on in your mind.Â
You fought against his grip as his free hand grabbed your other wrist when you went to push him away. Billy towered over you, almost menacingly.
âDonât do that again.â Billy warned you, holding you in place. âYou wonât like what happens next.â
Your heart was racing what felt like a million miles a minute. Part of you wanted to believe that Billy would never hurt you but the more rational part of you knew exactly what he was capable of. Hell, Billy even taught you how to defend yourself in situations like this but did you really want to test it? Did you really wanna test him?
âLet me go.â You whispered, wincing at the grip on your wrists. âP-please.â
Billy clenched his jaw and let you go.Â
âSit.â
You sat back down, your left hand rubbing your right wrist. You needed to reassess your situation. All you had to do was keep it from escalating. You didnât keep your cool and look what happened.
âTell me what I did.â He commanded, leaning forward as he sat back down across from you.
âBill--â
âTell me, Y/N.
âYou got involved in some shady crap. Right out of your last tour. Something called Operation Cerberus.â
Billy perked up at that. What was Operation Cerberus? And how did you know about it?Â
âW-what was Operation Cerberus?â Billy asked.
âI donât know the full details because it was classified. But it was what got you in trouble. You see there was testimony given to Homeland Security that incriminated you in dealings that stemmed from that tour. Drugs, gun running...murder. Some evidence was found when they searched our apartment. I gotta give it to you, I lived with you and I had no idea about what you did until they tore apart our home.â
Billy took a moment to soak in what you told him...he---he hid this from you? Why would he even do something like that in the first place? What happened during Operation Cerberus? What changed to make him get involved with something like that?
The sound of your ringtone broke the silence of the room, startling the both of you. Billy pulled your phone out of his pocket and checked the caller ID. A small, quiet chuckle escaped him before he showed you the phone. It was Frank.
âWhatâs Frankie calling you for?âÂ
âProbably just checking up on me. Heâs been doing that since you were arrested.â You told a half truth. Frank had been checking in with you since that night that Billy ended up in the hospital.
âAnswer it. Put his mind at ease.â
You glanced down at the phone he held out to you. There was a moment you contemplated on letting it ring, hoping that Frank would see it as something was wrong. But again, would it be a good idea to make Billy mad again? Crap. You sighed and took the phone from Billy, sliding your finger to answer the call.
âHey, Frank.â You greeted, trying to sound normal.Â
There was a pause for a moment...maybe you didnât sound normal enough. If Frank picked up on that, bless him for it.Â
âSomeone there with you?â Frank asked, the volume of his voice lower than normal.
âYeah. Yeah, everythingâs fine.â You said, trying not to raise Billyâs suspicion.
âYou in trouble?â
âMm hmm. Iâm just tired.â
Your glance fell on Billy, who watched you carefully...honestly, you couldnât tell if he was buying this one way conversation.
âYou at home?â
âYeah. I think Iâm just gonna stay in. Iâm sorry, I tried calling earlier to tell you but my phone cut out.â
âIâll be there as soon as I can. Iâm back in town. Hang in there as long as you can, you hear me?â
âYeah. I will. Be careful out there. Iâll call you tomorrow.â
You hung up your side of the line and gave the phone back to Billy. His eyes remained on you as he pocketed your phone.
âYou found a way to warn him, didnât you?â Billy gave a humorless chuckle.
âI-I didnât, Bill.â You protested.
âCome on, Y/N. I may be a lot of things but Iâm not stupid so donât treat me like I am.â
âHeâs not in New York. Even if I did find a way to warn him, heâd never get here in time.â
âFrankie always had a soft spot for you...but heâd never turn me in. Heâs my brother.â
OhâŠ.OH. Billy, you donât remember.
âBut I donât want to put him in any position to get in trouble. Not when he has his family.â
OH BILLYâŠYou decided against telling him because you didnât know what it would do to him to know about his betrayal to the Castle family. More or so how angry he might become if he truly didnât remember.
âIs there anything else? Because I gave you answers and thatâs what you said you wanted.â You changed the subject.Â
âDo you know who did this to me?â He motioned to the scars on his face.
You took a moment to look at each one...really look at them. You knew how much having these affected Billy before and most likely now. You knew how much pride he took in how he looked...and in your opinion, he still looked like the same olâ Billy Russo.
âNo.â You told him.
You slightly shocked yourself at the conviction in your voice. This had to be convincing enough for him to let it go.
âIâm sorry, I donât.â You added for good measure.
You managed to keep your eyes on him as he measured your response. He was searching them for any trace of deception. Moments that felt like hours passed before he leaned back into the chair with a sigh, running a hand over his face.
âI need to know who did this to me, Y/N.â Billy said, in a very familiar tone.
Billy would use this tired, slightly irritated tone mixed with a sigh when he felt like he was getting nowhere. When he feels like heâs missing something. You would hear it a lot more after he started Anvil. And this tone meant you managed to not get caught in your lie.
âI know you do.â Your voice softened.
Billy looked up at you, surprised to hear your voice change like that after speaking to him with mostly venom. To be honest, you still werenât sure if you should tell him. This was quite the situation you were stuck in.
There was a banging on your front door startling you both. Billyâs eyes flickered between the door and you.
âI thought you said Frank wasnât in New York.â Billy grumbled at you, standing up.
âHeâs not.â You told him, standing up as well.
âY/N? Y/N, itâs Madani, open up.â Madaniâs voice called from the other side.
âI have to answer it.âÂ
Billy motioned for you to do so, making himself scarce.Â
âY/N!â Madani called once more as she banged on your door, the door knob rattling.
You went over to the door and unlocked it, opening it to see Madani and Frank on the other side of the door.Â
âMadani.â You greeted before you put your finger to your lips, motioning for Frank, at least, to be quiet. Your eyes glanced to your left, letting them know he was still here. âWhat are you doing here?â
âI just wanted to check in. See if youâve heard from or seen Russo.â Madani asked, her vision on the left side of your door.
âNope. Not a word. Yet, anyway.â You played it off as you stood aside.
Frank walked past you, his gun raised and trained ahead of him. Madani walked in after, staying closer to you but ready in case she hears anything to indicate someone else.
âHeâs gone.â Frank said when he walked back into the room. âFire escape.â
You let out the breath you held the moment you opened the door. Thank god...the entire time he was here it was like you were walking on thin ice.Â
âYou okay?â Frank asked you lowly as Madani looked around your apartment.
âYeah. A little shook up, but Iâm good.â
âItâs not safe here anymore. Pack a bag.â
âWay ahead of you.â

Betaâd by @like-a-bag-of-potatoesâââââ, couldnât have done it without you, as well as @carryonmyswansongâââââ and @arrow-guyâââââ and @mrs-dragneel-stark-soloâââââ
Also, Iâve never really liked the whole soulmate AU thing idea, but this felt so right and it was amazing to write. I hope yâall love it too!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You walked out to the edge of the courtyard. It was the only place you could get a cell phone signal. You called Charles, not looking forward to the conversation you were about to have.Â
âHi, my love. It is so good to hear your voice. Are you coming home?âÂ
âNo, uh, not yet.â
âWhen? I was thinking of renovating a room or two and I wanted your input--â
âI donât know, Charles,â you said, your voice riddled with anxiety.Â
âWhat do you mean you donât know? Y/N, itâs been five months. This is only one of three calls Iâve gotten from you since you left for Nepal. How is it so hard to determine how long you will stay somewhere?â
âBecause I canât leave until he gets better.â
âWhy?â
âBecause Iâm his mate?â
âSo am I.â
âI stayed for your full recovery, Charles.âÂ
âI donât see why you have to stay with him. I can understand helping him get there and get settled in, but heâs an adult.âÂ
âYes, so were you. You even had your best friend, a doctor, living in with you. Creating miracle serums for you. He doesnât have that. He only has me, and Iâm not going to abandon him.â
âItâs been five months,â he reminded again.Â
âAnd Iâve known you for eleven years. As I recall, it took a bit of time for you to get back on your feet as well. I was with you for nearly a year, helping you.âÂ
âYouâre my mate.â
âI thought I wasnât anyoneâs property,â you shot back coolly.
âYouâre not, but I do miss you and we did make a commitment to each other.â
âOh, like the commitment we made when you decided to not notify me you were going off the grid? When I thought you were dead? When I begged you to give me a sign that you were still alive and you couldnât do it? Where was the commitment then, Charles?âÂ
He sighed on the other end of the phone.Â
âI know this isnât fun, I never planned for this, and I do miss you, but I canât and wonât leave him.âÂ
You could practically hear his jaw setting on the other side of the phone.Â
âDo you love him?âÂ
âWhat kind of⊠What the hell does that matter right now?â you asked, thrown off by the random interrogation.Â
âDo, you, love, him?â he stressed.Â
âWhy? Does my answer somehow sway your next actions or words?âÂ
âNo.â
âThen the answer to that isnât of any importance, Charles.â
âI miss you, Y/N and I donât mean in the lighthearted sense. I yearned for you for ten years. I fell in love with you through words on my skin, through words on a screen. I saved myself for you and I didnât date or look at another soul. We finally have a chance to be together, to start our lives and itâs interrupted by⊠all of this. I supported you when you left but itâs getting harder every day without you.âÂ
You threw your hands to the side, exasperated. âItâs hard for me too. I hate not being able to see you. I was over the moon when we met and I never expected any of this. But itâs happened, and we have to deal with it. When you sent me off with your blessing did you just think Iâd show up, be his nurse, and come home to you? Youâre not that dense, Charles. At some point, it had ot occur to you that he is my mate too, and what we have, what we formed goes beyond the initial stage of meeting. Just as you and I did, Stephen and I will move past the phase of nurse-patient. We already have. Heâs moved into the role of a student here, and Iâm his friend. Like it or not, this is whatâs happening, and I wonât abandon him in his time of need. It's not who I am, or who Iâve ever been. If you donât understand that about me by now, then perhaps we arenât as close as I thought.âÂ
âI donât think itâs too much to ask for more correspondence. You told me yourself you can make portals. So make a portal to come see me, even if it's for five minutes.âÂ
âI canât. Iâm not a student here and I donât feel comfortable using what Iâve picked up on without being an official student of the Ancient One.âÂ
âGreat, so some arbitrary rule stands between you visiting me, when youâre more than capable of doing so. Itâs fantastic to know where I stand, really.âÂ
âI gave up everything for you. I nearly died from grief over you. I left my family, my home, my practice, all to help you and to live with you. I donât think I ever have to prove my love or loyalty to you, and I donât appreciate having to do it now.Â
In a sorrowful voice, he said, âAll I want, is for the love of my life to come home to me. If that makes me a horrible person, then so be it. Sorry for requesting more of your time. I wonât make that mistake again.âÂ
The call ended, and you looked down at your phone. A flurry of sadness and anger hit you like a hurricane. You gripped the phone hard before two hands were on your shoulders, sending a wave of calm over you.
âIâm taking it didnât go well,â he commented.
You shook your head, tears rolling down your face.
âCome here,â he coaxed, as you turned and he wrapped his arms around you. You began sobbing and he just rubbed your back, consoling you, kissing your hair.Â
------------------------------
You explained to Stephen what had Charles upset. Typically you kept them somewhat separate from each other. You updated Charles on What Stephen was doing, how he was mentally or physically, but you didnât get into details of Stephenâs life or his personality. Almost as if he were a patient you kept an eye on and you were trying to keep to HIPPA policies.Â
The same went for Stephen. You never told Stephen that Charles was a mutant or that he was a telepath. You never told Stephen about your conversations with Charles except that you were going to give him an update, or check in with him. But the actual content of the conversations were never discussed.Â
Ultimately, both men knew you talked to the other, and kept updates on each other, but that was as far as it went.Â
This time though, things needed to be clear. Stephen needed to know why you were crying and Charles had a bit more insight to your situation with Stephen, so you felt it was fair.Â
âHe just misses me is all, and I think heâs afraid Iâll stay here with you and not go home to him.âÂ
Stephen nodded. He had an odd look on his face that you couldnât decipher. âI can understand the concern. Youâre his first mate.âÂ
You bobbed your head. âRight, but right now, I donât know what Iâm going to do. Youâre both my mates and right now, weâre taking it one day at a time. To be honest, I donât want to choose..â
Stephen nodded, his eyes drifting down to the floor. âWell, you may not have to. What if you visited him every other day? You know how to open gateways. You arenât a student here, so technically you don't have to abide by any rules.â
âYouâd be okay with that?â you asked, a bit surprised.Â
âIâm okay with the idea that Iâm not ruining a decade long relationship. If you need to go see him, Iâm fine with that. Iâm sure the Ancient One wouldnât care if you used your sorcery for hopping back and forth between here and New York. Youâre not doing anything devious or conniving. Youâre visiting a loved one.âÂ
You nodded. âI suppose youâre right.âÂ
You were going to ask the Ancient One in a few days, when Charles had cooled down and so had you. But the training picked up as Mordo introduced mystical artifacts and relics into the fighting, so you became focused on learning all of them and learning how to fight and use them.Â
One afternoon, after a sorcery session with Mordo, and class had been dismissed, you walked out, armed with two wooden batons.Â
âAh, again? Y/N,â he said, leaning over trying to catch his breath. âI already trained today and then I just went through an hour of sorcery practice.âÂ
âYes, and you will continue to practice.âÂ
âEasy for you to say, you havenât been doing anything all day,â he shot at you with a half-smirk.Â
âAlright, smartass, take a baton.â You tossed it to him. âLetâs see if you can fight as well as you talk shit.â
âOh, I assure you, I can talk way more shit,â he said with a wide grin.Â
You laughed before charging at him. He held up his stick in both hands, blocking the blow, before you pulled it down and whacked him in the side of the waist. He leaned over in pain, but then he quickly hit the baton to the back of your leg, making you go to your knees. He put his elbow in your pressure point but you lowered your shoulder down away from his touch before spinning on your knee to get behind him and put him in a headlock. He reeled his arm back and slammed it into your ribs. You let him go instantly, wheezing in pain.Â
You turned your head towards him before running at him and holding your baton behind your head before trying to swing it down at his face. He blocked the attack, with both arms holding out to the left of him, keeping your baton at bay. The two of you were nearly nose to nose as you stared at each other.Â
A sudden racing feeling occurred in your veins. He was so close. You could kiss him, just like you always wanted to do, but you needed to keep focus, needed to be sure you were training him. He started to push your baton down, and it didnât take too much force as you were mesmerized by the look in his yes, the scent that came off of him. His lips looked more inviting than ever.Â
Just as he was about to deliver the next blow to you, to keep up with training, a sudden rainstorm hit. Raindrops didnât drop sporadically, the sky opened up as if a semi-truck filled with water poured down on you. The rushing of the rain surprised both you and Stephen as you straightened up before laughing.Â
âShould we get inside?â Stephen yelled over the rain.Â
âYes, I think thatâs wise,â you responded before the two of you took each otherâs hands and ran to your bedroom. You stood at the end of the bed, turning to face Stephen. He was suddenly very close to you. His hands slowly crept their way up to your hair, his fingers sending shivers down your spine.Â
âI love you,â he breathed, as if he wasnât sure he wanted to say it or he wasnât sure he was ready for your response.Â
ââI love you too,â you returned.Â
He smiled before he tilted his head slightly and slowly lowered his lips to yours.Â
A bomb exploded inside the two of you. What started out soft and tender suddenly became ravenous. Your hands went to his hair, his back, anything you could get your hands on. He pulled at the hem of your shirt and you tore at his robes. His mouth was frenzied on yours, and yours on his. You couldnât get him close enough to you, fast enough. Nothing else mattered except getting him as close as humanly possible.Â
You pulled away for a split second so he could pull your shirt off and you could work his off of him. He kissed down your neck, down between your cleavage. Your breathy pants couldnât be heard over the rush of the rain outside. Â
His hands scoured your back, unhooking your bra quickly before he pushed your pants down quickly, leaving you standing there in nothing but your panties. He pushed you down on the bed before nestling between your legs, continually kissing all over you.Â
You slipped blissfully into euphoria with him as you werenât sure where you ended and he began. For the next several hours, you spent exploring, kissing, and melding your bodies and minds and you felt as if you were in total bliss.Â
When you were lying in each other's arms, you felt the world melt away. Nothing mattered. No one else mattered. It was just the two of you.

hey!! i was lucky enough to stumble across your blog, & i'm enjoying your writing!! could i request something for a first date w/ sian? maybe something more casual, like a cafe!
(Iâm glad you like it! Hopefully this is what you had in mind with your request! I went for a âfriends to loversâ vibe in a modern setting if thatâs okay. Please enjoy and thank you for such a fun request!)
Courtesy Coffee (Sian)
You met under unpleasant circumstances. Sian was in a rush to get to his destination, and you were staring down at your phone with a cup of iced coffee in your other hand. Like that banal trope in shoujo manga, the two of you crashed into one another, and your drink spilled all over his outfit. As complete strangers, it was obvious that the one who was drenched would be incredibly frustrated. That was an exact observation, only Sian didnât feel the need to use a filter that day.
âAre you kidding me? Watch where youâre going!â he had yelled, gripping his soaked shirt and glaring daggers at you. âHow am I supposed to show up to work looking like this?!â
Anyone would feel frightened with his exasperated tone of voice and the intimidating aura that surrounded him, but you werenât one to surrender immediately.
Straightening your shoulders, you met his heated stare. âIâm sorry. At least it wasnât hot, right?â Hoping to dispel his anger, you smiled a little. âI can buy you a clean shirt if itâll make you feel better.â
He puffed his cheeks out, suddenly bashful as he avoided your gaze. âItâs the least you could do! Seriously, this is the worst. I smell just like your stupid coffee.â
âHey, donât diss my iced coffee. Itâs delicious and you know it.â
âIf itâs so good, why is it all over me?â he snapped, crossing his arms. âThisâll stain, you know!â
âI offered to get you another shirt.â
âItâs not just on my shirt, you moron! I canât face my colleagues like this. You have no idea what theyâll say.â
âSuck it up then!â
âNo!â
You sighed heavily, gripping your empty coffee cup. âThereâs no need to be difficult. Just let me get you a clean polo and slacks. Unless youâd rather parade around in wet, coffee-smelling attire. Youâre making a scene with all of your yelling.â
âYou were just yelling, too. Fine, whatever. I guess you can do that.â
Even as you spied his blush, you couldnât ignore your thoughts. Is he seriously embarrassed by the fact that Iâm getting him clothes? Anyone would do this to repay the damage.Â
âThatâs all I needed to hear. Oh, and for the record youâre the one who should watch where youâre going.â
He didnât take those words too well. Regardless, that was how you met the guy with a loud mouth and an even louder personality. You ran into him twice after that incident, and each time he seemed to stumble over himself. He tried to thank you for the clothes, but all he could manage was a huff and an angry comment about how the fabric was uncomfortable. Weeks later, that same boy just so happened to feel bad about starting a few shouting matches with you during those three times you interacted. He saw you in a cafĂ© by chance and secretly covered your drink fee, making the barista promise not to reveal his identity. It was a sweet gesture, despite being anonymous and a bit of a shock on your end. Youâd never experienced the magic that was receiving your drink for free, but it was great nonetheless.
You enter work that morning with a cheery disposition, passing by coworkers and even engaging in kind banter with those who arenât the friendliest. You clock in and make your way towards the elevator while scrolling through an online article. Hearing a familiar ping, you glance up, urging whoeverâs inside to hold the door. There are four other people crammed within the area, all of whom are silently waiting for the elevator to rise. You push the button for your floor and relax. Momentarily, you glance around the enclosed space to see if you can recognize anyone from your department. Your eyes sweep from one person to the next, and you spot polite Nine at the very back.
Youâre compelled to greet him, but someone stands in your way. Someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to the guy who was showered in iced coffee two weeks ago. You gasp and turn away, hoping he wonât notice you.
No way! We work for the same company? Whatâre the odds? This must be a bad omen! I donât want to start another fight with him, you think, having done your best to erase those memories.
The elevator pings, and youâre completely distracted. Though you donât miss the hand that taps your shoulder. Your gaze follows his arm. Itâs that guy again.
âHey. This is your floor, isnât it?â
The number doesnât lie, but Sianâs memory might as he struggles to recall your familiar features. It clicks just as you bolt out of the elevator, the doors slipping shut and obscuring your backside for good. Sian blinks rapidly as his face heats up. That was...
Coffee idiot! he thinks. Thereâs no mistaking that stupid look on their face. Heâs thrown into a bad mood at once, internally grumbling as he remembers that day. Even if he changed into new clothes, he still smelled of coffee. It was embarrassing, and his bothersome colleagues wouldnât leave him alone. And now we work in the same building. Maybe I should just quit so I donât have to face them.
"Can you believe it, Youssef?â you ask your deskmate, having ranted to him while typing up the progress of this weekâs publication. At least thatâs a monetary positive for the company. You canât say the same for your mentality, though. âI do something nice in return and he yells at me. And then we meet againâtwiceâand heâs still rude.â
Youssef tilts his head, a childish gesture for someone his age. âAre you sure youâre not incorrectly reading his actions?â
âIâm positive. When have I ever been wrong?â You frown as your fingers slow their pace on the keyboard. âI just found out today that we work in the same building. This is totally unfair. Why do I have to bear the burden of knowing this information?â
âIâm sure he means well. What does he look like? I might know him.â You describe him to your helpful colleague, who nods and taps his chin in thought. His expression lights up with recognition. âIf I remember correctly, his name is Sian, and heâs in the marketing department. Weâve only talked briefly, but I can assure you heâs quite diligent with his work.â
âWell, everyoneâs got their own personality outside of their jobs.â
âI suppose, but itâs not polite to label someone based off of such little knowledge,â he advises lightly, turning his attention back to his computer screen. âRather than using all of your energy painting a bad image of him, you should spend that time getting to know him. Itâll fix any negative impressions you may have.â
âSomething tells me he wouldnât like that...â
Since then, you havenât run into Sian once. At first you made it your mission to keep an eye out for him, but now that youâve been busy with this new project you canât be bothered to let his image clutter your mind. So you brush him aside like a cobweb, certain you wonât bump into him again. Your floors are far enough apart, so itâs unlikely that thatâll happen. But youâre not always the luckiest, and fate tends to tease those who arenât on good terms with one another.
Youâre close to running late on a rainy day, having missed the train, so now youâre doing everything you can to catch a taxi. Cars speed by on the road, and you fail to flag down a vehicle. Dejected and soaked to the bone, you drag your feet along the slick sidewalk, wishing for your next paycheck so that you can put it towards a used car. Speaking of cars, one slides past you as it makes an effort to park along the walkway. In doing so, the tires kick up a huge puddle, effectively soaking your lower half. As if the day couldnât have gotten any worse. The car almost moves out of the spot before it halts, and the window steadily rolls down to reveal the face of your greatest enemy.
Well, heâs not technically your greatest enemy, but it really feels like it in that moment.
âDo you need a ride?â As if correcting himself, he quickly adds, âIâm not doing this because itâs you! Iâm just sympathizing.â
Does it matter? you wonder, bitter and cold and wet. Karma is so brutal.
âYouâre Sian, right?â You approach his car, peering in at the flustered man. âFrom marketing.â
âY-Yeah. So what?â
âIâm in publishing.â Awkwardly, you look up at the cloudy sky. âItâs really coming down. The forecast didnât call for this much rain.â
âAre you getting in or not?â
âBut youâre a stranger,â you jest, fixing him with a pout. âI donât want scary Sian to kidnap me.â
He glowers at your joke. âIâm leaving now. I donât have time for this.â
You hold back a chuckle, tearing open the door before he can drive off. âWait! Sorry, Iâll get in. I canât stand another minute in this rain.â
The window slides up, and he sets the car in motion after youâve buckled up, easing back into the flow of traffic smoothly. Now that youâre sitting there with the AC blowing cool air at your face, you shudder. Oh, how wonderful it must feel to be in clothes that are warm and untouched by the rain. In his peripheral, Sian catches your shivering form, and he switches the AC from cold air to hot. You might not dry as quick as one would hope, but at least itâs something.
The silence is utterly tense. You almost expect him to bicker with you like he did in the past. Instead, heâs focused on the winding road ahead. Though you donât miss the pink hue that tints his cheeks and gradually rises to his ears.
âSo,â you say, if only to get a conversation going. âHowâs work?â
âFine, I guess. How did you know who I was?â
âMy friend Youssef.â
âOh.â
âYou probably donât know me. Iâm (Name).â
âI already know.â
âReally? Stalker.â
âIâm not a stalker!â he exclaims, glaring hard at the windshield. âYouâre kind of hard to miss.â
âWhat does that mean?â
âYouâre always so loud at our company parties. How can anyone ignore that?â Sian then proceeds to bless your ears with a story from this yearâs holiday party. A few departments got together and went out for drinks and karaoke. Naturally, you had a drinking contest with your colleagues, which led to a tipsy night of bad singing and stumbling from one bar to the next. You were surprised Sian remembered that, mainly because you couldnât recall seeing him there. And itâs been months since that rowdy night. âDo you see my point?â
âDonât remind me. That hangover hurt my soul.â
He quirks a smile at that. âItâs not flattering when you sing high notes in the wrong key.â
âLike you could do any better.â
âI can because I was sober.â
âYeah, yeah.â You roll your eyes, gazing out at the scenery that passes by in a blur of dull colors. Without meaning to, you eye Sianâs reflection in the window, taking note of his side profile. Heâs actually quite handsome when heâs calm and not acting so stubborn. âI guess weâre even now.â
âEven?â
âI spilled coffee on you, and you splashed me when your tires hit that puddle.â
âAm I supposed to buy you clothes now?â
âIf youâre offering...â
âI wasnât offering!â
âDonât worry. Iâve got a spare uniform in my locker.â
I wasnât worried to begin with, you coffee idiot, Sian thinks, gripping the steering wheel. He keeps track of your occasional trembling, and he canât help but feel troubled. Youâll catch a cold if you donât dry off soon. Suddenly, he regrets pulling up beside you and accidentally sending water flying in your direction. This time it was definitely his fault, wasnât it? Sian wants to make it up to you, but itâs impossible. Heâll die of embarrassment before he succeeds in performing a good deed in front of you.
Truthfully, heâs always noticed you. The very first instance was last year at the companyâs drinking party. You were glued to Youssefâs side, engaging in idle chatter with him and another guy he wasnât too familiar with. At the time, Sian thought your behavior was obnoxious. No one wants their younger coworker clinging to them. It just made you look like an attention-seeking puppy. Although you were definitely upbeat at that party. He had watched you chug an entire pint of beer like it was nothing and then join in on a pointless game of Ten Fingers with enough energy to put a child to shame.
He thought you were annoying at first, and yet there was something captivating about your personality. Heâd never had the guts to approach you outright, so when he ran into you that day all of his frustrations just spilled over. He was angry at himself for not having the courage to talk to you at every company party, and now that he had a chance he couldnât think of what to say. He hadnât mentally prepared anything! So he said the first thing that came to his mind, which passed through his unfiltered lips in a very abrupt manner.
But you didnât show any fear. You hardly flinched. Instead you met his words with a few of your own, and thatâs what ruffled Sianâs feathers. You were so good at communication, and he was very much unskilled, usually relying on phrases he prepared in his head. Itâs not like he couldnât talk. He could when he was interested in a certain subject or whenever he was reading from a page, but in front of someone he admired... Sian knew heâd make a fool of himself.
Now that youâre sitting in the passenger seat of his car, he has every opportunity to say what he wants. Yet the words scramble in his brain, and he canât calm his racing heart. Before he can think of anything witty, the building comes into view, and the parking garage has never seemed so dismal. Sianâs kicking himself as he parks, disappointed with how he handled that situation.
âThanks for this. Iâll go on ahead.â You unbuckle, holding your briefcase and squeezing water from your blazer. âIâm sorry if I got your seat wet.â
âItâs...fine.â
Youâre going to walk away and then heâll become the coffee idiot. He opens his mouth to say something thatâll stop you, but you turn around at the right moment.
âLetâs get coffee sometime in the future. You deserve it after all the trouble I gave you,â you propose, smiling earnestly. And I feel guilty for my initial judgement. Youssef was right.
Sianâs eyes widen, and he struggles to remain stoic. âOh, uh...â
âThatâs okay with you, right?â
âI guess. Whatever works for you.â He shrugs.
âGreat!â You retrieve a pen from your case and close the distance between the two of you. Humming, you snatch his hand, spreading his fingers so that his palm is wide open. And then you scribble something on it, grinning in satisfaction. Sian stares at you the entire time, his face blank and head filled with static. âText me the days youâre available. See you later!â You tuck the pen away, hastily dashing in the direction of the elevator.
Sian stands there for a moment, slack-jawed. He forces himself to look down at his hand. Your number is written on his skin in smudged ink. His face erupts in a flurry of red. That coffee idiot...
------
âItâs not a date,â Sian mutters as he walks to the cafĂ©. âItâs not. Stop thinking that way.â
But maybe it is a date, the voice in the back of his mind whispers, goading him into believing so. He dressed as casually as possible, but he still hopes itâll impress you. There are plenty of fears that flood his head, and he almost turns around as soon as he gets to the entrance. But heâs come this far, and heâd regret it forever if he left now. This might be his only chance; he canât afford to pass it up. So he pushes open the door in search of you. It doesnât take long to locate your form amongst the few who are inside. Sianâs pulse rushes into overdrive, and he clenches his jaw.
Itâs not a date. Act natural.
You look up from your phone just as he slides into the seat across from you. A warm smile blossoms across your face, and you tuck your mobile away. âSian, you made it! I was worried you wouldnât come.â
âItâd be rude if I didnât show up after you made all those plans.â
âYeah, thatâs true. Well, thank you. Now I wonât have to feel bad about Monday morning.â
You had felt bad? Sianâs cheeks must be burning intensely bright now, but thereâs nothing he can do. âItâs your fault for being an idiot.â
You chuckle. âThat makes two of us. One idiot ignored the forecast, and the other wasnât watching where he was going.â
âWhatever. Just so weâre clear, Iâm not as stupid as you.â He crosses his arms and huffs. âAnd you donât have any taste. I mean, iced coffee? Really?â
âItâs good!â you insist. âYouâre missing out. Everyone knows iced coffee is better than hot coffee.â
âIs it now? I donât agree with that statistic.â
âYouâre allowed to have your own opinion, Mr. Sian,â you tease. âGive me your drink order. Iâll go get it.â
âWhat? No way. Iâll pay.â
âAs if! Iâm treating you.â
âYou already bought me clothes.â
âAnd now Iâm going to buy you coffee. Itâs to say thanks for picking me up during that storm.â
âI wouldâve left you on that sidewalk if I knew you were going to make it a hassle now!â
âJust accept my kindness!â
Sian shuts his mouth, giving into your demand. He grumbles his order, and youâre very happy as you make your way towards the register to get the two of you drinks and pastries. He watches as you pay, releasing a soft sigh. Itâs hard to say no to someone youâve admired for so long. Sianâs not sure when he started to like you, but heâs certain these recent interactions have only added fuel to the burning fire residing in his heart. Itâs embarrassing to think heâs even on a romantic outing with you, but itâs not like the two of you are close friends. So then what does that make this?
When you return to the window table, setting down the drinks and a plate with two strawberry bread puddings, heâs shaken from his daydreams. This is actually happening. Itâs not just another fantasy heâs imagined while witnessing you drink your sanity away at parties.
âIâm not sure if you like strawberries, but Iââ
âI guess itâs okay,â he interrupts, trying to hide the fact that he actually likes it very much.
âGood!â You ease into your chair. âYouâre not as bad as I thought you were.â
He raises an eyebrow as he takes a sip from his latte. âHuh.â
âYou seemed really upset when I spilled my coffee on you. But anyone would be, so itâs completely understandable. I thought you hated me because of that. When we saw each other again, you were pretty sensitive.â
âIâm not sensitive!â he snaps, proving your point. âThat was a white shirt you ruined.â
âWill you feel better if you dump coffee on me?â
âWhat? Why would I do that? Iâm not going to do something as petty as that!â
âAw, so you do care.â
âI donât. Get lost.â
You break out into a laughing fit, genuinely amused at his coldness. Even if he doesnât want to show it, heâs quite nice, and youâre relieved that he didnât turn out to be a bully seeking revenge. Then again, itâs been weeks since that incident.Â
âItâs not funny!â
âSorry, sorry. Youâre just so expressive. Itâs hard not to laugh.â
A furious red darkens his face, and he decides to fumble with his fork in order to give his hands something to do. The bread pudding is surprisingly delicious. He fumes in his embarrassment while he eats.
Eventually, the two of you converse about work and that project your department took on. Sian listens to your rambling as you go on and on about how irksome it is when last-minute changes are made to a finalized draft. He enjoys every story you tell him, and by the time the plate is empty he feels as if heâs grown closer with you. Could this be the beginning of a friendship? Heâs hit with a sudden wave of inspiration for lyrics that will never be sung. At least they can fester on a page in his notebook, where heâll return on countless occasions to proofread and debate over the meaning of each line. Oh, how heâd love to share his music with you. Itâll take a while before he does something as bold as that, though.
âI just got an idea! Thereâs this awesome bar thirty minutes from work. I usually go with my friends because theyâve got a bunch of games you can play. Board games, card gamesâyou name it. We should go one of these days.â
âR-Really?â
âYeah! You seem like a fun guy to hang out with. Card games might sound boring, but theyâre actually really fun when youâre playing for money. And when youâve got a few drinks in your system.â
Sian struggles to hide the giddy smile that threatens to split his lips. âNo... It sounds perfect. Iâm actually really good at Slapjack, so be prepared to lose miserably!â
âIs that a challenge? What should we wager?â
"How about a meal? Loser has to pay for the winnerâs lunch.â
âAll right. Itâs a deal. Iâll keep you updated on my schedule so that we can choose a weekend to meet up.â
âSure!â Sianâs face wonât stop heating up and he canât slow his erratic heartbeat. âI mean, Iâll only do it so I can get a free lunch. Itâs not like Iâm agreeing for your sake.â
âYeah, yeah. Whatever floats your boat.â
His chest feels airy and light, almost as if heâs in a dream. Your words weigh on his conflicted heart. How can anyone make plans so easily? If the roles were reversed, heâd be an absolute mess. Itâd be so embarrassing; Sian would probably want to curl up and disappear if he ever tried to ask you out on his own volition. You probably donât even feel the same way. After all, this is merely two coworkers having a normal conversation. But he canât get stuck in the friend zone. Thatâd be the worst outcome to all of this. So in the meantime heâll do his best to act cordial. He can hide his shy demeanor and fluffy feelings behind a blunt attitude.
âAll of this planning makes it seem like weâre a couple,â you muse with flirtatious intent. Leaning back in your chair, you gauge Sianâs reaction. Just as you figured, heâs turning crimson. Itâs honestly endearing to see him get so flustered. âWhat do you think, Sian?â
âI... I donât know. Donât say stupid things! Itâs really annoying.â
No matter how sharp his words are, you know he doesnât mean it. After all, his expression clearly refutes those claims.
âSian and (Name), sitting in a treeââ
âShut up!â
If this isnât a date, then whatâs with all the flirting?
Sianâs going to have to take a cold shower when he gets home to lower his body temperature. And to scrub away the embarrassment thatâs washed over him like rain.
Itâs not a date. Itâs just coffee with an acquaintance. Yeah. Just courtesy coffee.
He couldnât be any further from the truth.

| serenity in us | j.jh | ch. one
word count: 2.9k+ ( putting this now yay :3 )
a/n: hey hi hello~ iâm back with another series! i was gonna wait until my semesterâs done but my patienceâs killing me and i donât wanna keep you all waiting so here you go! ⥠enjoy! ~j
âserenity is found somewhere between the sky and the sand.â you read the font words on the minimalist frame. it was a quote you heard in an ongoing, constant dream that you thought was needed to be drawn and remembered. in it, the quote was a voice as if a narrator spoke those words to begin something new. the scenery you ask? every place was different but there was always a horizon. the dream was vague and raised a lot of question marks in your mind the moment you wake up.
you hung the item on the wall, marking the end of unpacking your things since moving in days ago. the mess was finally cleared out and the boxes were emptied and folded briefly, lined on one side of the wall. you slouched low in exhaustion, sliding your home slippers across the white marbled floor. it was squeaking even, that only explained how much of a neat freak you were. a new apartment, simple furniture and man oh man, you have an automatic vacuum with a sensor that you didnât have to worry about the dirt at the annoying, impossible corners.
independence was something you were blessed with despite being an orphan as early as two. uncle caleb; a friend of your fatherâs and aunt jenn; your motherâs half-sister, gladly took you in as their own.
honestly the mention of your beloved felt like they were still alive and just working abroad, because they were always reminded and talked about from your uncle and aunt. you had a striking resemblance with your mother, but the ways were your fatherâs. âa perfect combination of the twoâ, was how they described the child they never wanted to leave behind.
the door bell rang and the small screen showed your childhoodâ and best friend, eunha. she waved at the super tiny camera and had some flowers and bento boxes with her, all packed and nicely decorated. you pressed the button for her to enter. whilst you waited, you played an hour long track list of soothing, chill, instrumental songs to make the apartment a little noisy. one thingâs for sure, silent cleaning was not a good habit since you tend to procrastinate, oops.Â
eunha greeted you a hug so tight, placing down the things she brought with her. ây/n! iâm so glad weâre living so close to each other!â she hugged you and fanned herself as if that would stop her eyes from welling. âhowâs everything with you? you shouldâve called me honey! you know iâll be coming straight away to help! i have a hotline like the powerpuff girls has.â she winked.
âiâm great! i crossed out the things i completed and now free from the stress. iâm ready for the new semester.â you gestured her to sit, inviting her for the meal you prepared. âwell i am the bubbles to your blossom~ but itâs really okay! i managed and here we are talking freely without stressing over things.â
her hands held yours and swung them with excitement. âafter we eat, do you want me to bring you around town? thereâs a vinyl record store i think youâll like.â her voice beaming as she singsonged, chewing on the pancake with whipped cream and blueberries.
âitâs still 9 a.m. we have loads of time in the world.â you showed your watch.
the leaves began to fall and you twirled around the sidewalkâs lamppost. eunha took pictures of you, happiness written on your face. you both entered the said shop. records displayed and hung on the wall, posters of legendary artists and worldwide singers encouraging customers to come in.
your hands trailed along the shelf that had new and limited turntables. as much as you were itching to pull out your wallet, there were other important things you needed to worry about and independence meant discipline too. your fingers curled and hesitated, just inches left before you could touch the surface of the one thing youâve always wanted to purchase.
eunha giggled at your whiney, surrendered self. your back turning away from the product and walking towards her. ây/n.â she called your name, but this certain tone was serious and was more of a reminder.
âi know.â you smiled as you wiggled your phone with the ever precious wallpaper of yours.
âoh! your auntâs calling you.â she hopped and pointed at the device, making you sliding fingers on the screen a second later. she gestured that sheâd head out and wait for you.
âhi aunt jenn.â you greeted on the phone, only to extend your arm slightly at the babyâs cry on the other line. âaw heâs crying again?â
âyes y/n. iâll be heading to work soon. can you come here?â she chuckled, though it was obvious she had the baby in her arms.
you exited the store and pulled eunha, crossing the pedestrian. âalright, iâll be on my way.â
the office was dead silent and not one soul dared to speak. three figures stood in front of the angered woman; their continuous fiddles of the fingers and tapping of the toes became faster as they tried to come up with a reason to tell. just one. only the ticking of the clock on the table was heard. it was getting harder and harder to breathe even in a hundred square meter room.
âwhere is he?!â she yelled. the three flinched and were taken aback, hands either behind them or wrapped around an arm. the door then flung opened, revealing the said guy.
âyoung man, how can you be so inconsiderate?!â the woman asked again, this time it was in an annoying range of decibel that the listeners had to endure the volume.Â
jaehyun brushed past the âmeetingâ and sat in one of the leather chairs. his legs rested on the centered table, obviously not bothering to listen. âso, being a minute late concludes my actions in general?â he chuckled bitterly, spinning the chair around before standing up again.
âi couldnât care less,â he now glared at the woman. âabout this damn meeting. what is it for, anyway?! wasting my time!â
he left the room and the woman rubbed her temples, swinging her palms to tell the rest of the three to follow the young man. âjaehyun.â yunho called his brother, reaching a hand out to grab him, successfully turning the lad around.
âwhat?â jaehyun snapped, removing the grip onto his body.
krystal rolled her eyes, the pungent smell entering her nostrils. âyou reek, jae.â
âyou went drinking again, didnât you? i could smell the moment you came into the office.â yunho asked, pressing the button of the lift to head down.
âwhen will you learn, honestly?â jessica fixed her bag on her arm. âgrow up.â
jaehyun clapped his hands, applauding the expected words that woman instructed his siblings to do. âme? learn? i already did. i just wonât follow orders from that silver digger.â
âgold*.â they corrected him.
âsee youâre still drunk.â krystal meddled with her new manicure, earning a nudge from jessica.
âwhatever, noona. you get my point either way.â jaehyun fished out his car keys to toss them up high, whistling his heart out at his favourite tune.
they exited the building and got on the car. he dropped off his sisters at the blanc and eclare flagship headquarters, then drove to a nearby restaurant for lunch with yunho. they entered the place and went to the reserved table. jaehyun sat and loosened the buttons of his polo, removing the neck tie and sat back.
yunho stared at his carefree little brother, he put the menu down so he could maybe give him a little serious talk. he understood why jaehyun acted the way he did earlier. even he himself could do the same but given the circumstances of his standing in the family, of course heâd be the mature one. he was the first child anyway.
âgot anything you want?â yunho asked, removing his sunglasses then placing them in its case. âiâll pay.â
ânah, let me pay for my own meal, hyung.â he flashed a small smile. âi got my pay check.â
âso you still do have a heart.â yunho jokingly stated the overseen fact.
âcâmon youâre smarter than that doctor jung.â jaehyun said the occupation title in a childlike tone. âyou should know why iâm filled with hatred towards the woman.â
âhatred is such a strong word, offensive even. but seriously jae, how long are you going to keep up with this behavior? the next thing you know it, youâre out of the penthouse.â
yunho raised his hands to order. the young lad didnât dare to answer and he sighed at the usual unresponsive manner whenever they hit this certain topic. âlook i know for the longest time she treated us like how captain george von trapp did to his kids. i get it. you hated how she uses out-of-the-world discipline and i totally understand that-â
jaehyun scoffed, disbelief clearly written on his face. âi was six when she entered our lives. a kid that age couldnât handle being shoved around just because he thought there was no difference between boxers and pajama shorts. the sound of music is cool reference by the way.â
âyou did have confused mind back then. and what else can i compare it with? she probably took the idea from there.â yunho laughed as he handed the utensils and handkerchief. âbut still though, i suggest you man up and act like you do with dad. just be yourself.â
âeasier said than done.â jaehyun began slicing his steak and popping one bit into his mouth.
âwhat makes you so stone cold towards her anyway?â he asked, fixing the handkerchief by his lap.
âsimple.â jaehyun stated the obvious even if he knew that yunho knew the answer.
âsheâs not mom.â
eunha brought you to the restaurant that opened not long ago. the interior was eye-catching yet even with its simplicity, it was able to attract customers from outside. the smell of dishes that were yet to be served was luring and probably the reason why eunha chose the place. the waiters led you to the a table and soon came back with a baby chair. you placed the little un in it and he smiled with pearls trying to peek out.
you fixed the bib around him and booped his nose. gurgles of his hoarse laughs made everyone at your area turn to him. âooh you sure are the spotlight stealer, arenât you? these people are already taking a picture of you.â
âgosh he has the cutest smile.â eunha melted at the sight of him grabbing the tissue. âlooky here!â she aimed her camera at him. ây/n, whatâre you getting?â
you pondered for a while before your eyes landed at the name your stomach was craving for the past week. moving apartments had a toll on youâ that resulted in you unable to cook your favourite meal. up until this morning were you finally found the time to do that. hence the breakfast eunha devoured within seconds.
âiâm getting fish & chips, and the classic steak.â your stomach growled at the picture beside it.
âalright, i guess iâm getting the same as yours.â eunha raised her hand.
the waiter came to your table to kindly ask for your orders. when you did so and thanked the man, a wallet fell from your right side. picking it up to give it to the owner, a large hand lightly touched yours and you looked up to see two men smiling softly.
âthank you.â the man in a suit said, taking the wallet from you.
âyouâre welcome.â you answered. the man looked awfully familiar, as if he was on every commercial the screen had offered to show.
you and eunha shared a look. the telepathic words exchanged between the both of you had your eyes agreeing with what you saw, confirming his identity.
âheâs that celebrity doctor.â eunha mouthed. âdr. jung yunho, a paediatrician.â
âhe seems a happy child. how old is he if i may ask?â he waved at him.
âthis little guy here, just turned one few days ago.â you said, wiping off the drool with the bib.
âoh precious. belated happy birthday buddy.â he greeted.
you turned to the little one and carried him in your arms, waving his hands to thank the man. as you continued have your lunch and taking turns in feeding him and yourself, you noticed some movement where other children would approach the child on your lap. they would pinch his cheeks lightly and made faces they thought would make him laugh.
then the two men beside you stood. but before they left, yunho took a something out of his pockets and handed it to you.
it was a business card of his own practice office with an address and contact information. âif thereâs anything you need help with, just give me a call and this guy-â he pointed at jaehyun and pat his back. â-will pick you and birthday boy up and head to my office.â
âhyung!â jaehyun gasped loudly, later covering his hands at the volume of his complaint. âsorry, i donât mean it in a negative way.â he smiled awkwardly at you.
âno worries.â you gave him a sincere smile and he swore he felt like the world slowed down. everything else blurred where the only focus was you; how your hair length waved below your shoulders and your eyes sparkled with the sunâs reflection.
this young fine man though, whom you thought wasnât paying attention or interest to, was now staring at you like he had a thousands of questions to ask to fill in his curiosity. âsee you around.â yunho bid you goodbye, and the other trailed from behind.
eunha poked your shoulder with an intention of a tease. she grinned and you knew where she would go from there. âi know what youâre gonna say.â you rolled your eyes, yet a faint smile was evident in your lips.
âreally?â her tone was very challenging. âiâll test you. go ahead.â
ââdr. jung yunho is so handsome! heâs so dreamy in real life! i shouldâve asked for his photograph and boast it to my friends!â yeah, i guess itâs somewhere along those lines.â you mimicked her voice and expression, not to mention gestures as well, especially the hands.
âyah i donât act like that!â she defended, but there wasnât any denial as she said that. âwell, maybe. youâre not wrong though.â
âhmpf. and here you went âtest meâ.â you giggled, giving another piece of fish fillet to the one-year old. âand for the record, iâm always right whenever iâm proving you wrong.â
âfine you win.â she sipped her juice from a straw. âoh! hey, the guy heâs with is also handsome.â
you nodded in agreement at the obvious fact, although he did have tiny temperment. but that was only due to dr. yunhoâs sudden suggestion. âhe looked young. maybe his younger brother perhaps?â you wondered.
âhm. i havenât seen him before. not on screen at least.â eunha chewed on her food. you raised a brow since you have no idea what she was talking about. âthat doctor we conversed with, is from a family of good looking people. he has two younger sisters; jessica and krystal jung. the older one is the founder and endorser of blanc and eclare, while the younger one is an nationwide actress.â
âwow.â your eyes grew at the far/fetched level of these people. âsounds like an ideal family out of a manhwa.â
âegg-xactly.â she pointed at you with a hard boiled egg by her fork.
âthat guy called him âhyungâ though. looked like to me they know each other. plus they have resemblance too.â you wiped your lips clean from the possible stain.
âoh dear ms. y/n.â eunha called you, her palms touching her chest as if she was surprised. âyou have the hots for guys like him, which was why you-â
âah-ah.â you glared at her, making her shush and zipping the imagination by her lips. âdonât talk about that.â
âbummer, i wasnât even gonna.â eunha pouted but held your hand anyway. âiâll always be here for you, y/n.â
âthank you.â you gave her a warm smile.
jaehyun waited by the entrance while his brother paid their meal. although he was bummed out that he wasnât able to pay for his, he was somehow relieved. because once that cash was out of his pockets, heâd be broke the next time he goes to drink again.
at the corners of his eyes, he could still see you and your friend, as well as the adorable child seated on your lap. you were giving him a spoonfuls for airplane feeding.
yunho gestured jaehyun that they were leaving the restaurant. âhyung, why did you say that iâd pick her up?â he asked as he took a quick glance at you.
âcâmon iâm just playing around.â he nudged jaehyun.
âby matchmaking me to some random girl?â he scoffed. âyou sure got a lot of time in your hands.â
âdonât take it too seriously jae.â yunho went ahead, leaving his brother flabbergasted.
he then shrugged it off and looked at you before stepping out. his ears perked up at the three second long conversation exchanged between you and the child.
âjaewon, look! mommyâs got an airplane~â
jaehyun stopped in his tracks by the entrance. his head quickly turning to you again. your lips mouthed the one word that shock hit his entire body. you werenât just some random girl,
you were the mother of that child.

        When Michael stepped out of his airstream to greet Alex, he hadnât expected Max to suddenly pull up into his driveway with Isobel in the passengerâs seat.
        Michael looked to Alex who was seated in front of the bonfire, his elbows on his knees, looking unsurprised.
        He raised a brow at his siblings, wishing they werenât here as he neared Alexâs chair, his hands on the back. Alex looked up at him with a slight quirk of his lips. It was easier now, he thought, to get close to Alex without scaring him off. Michael had even felt all the fluster without any of the dread when heâd stepped out of the shower to find a text from Alex asking if he could come to the airstream to talk to him about something.
        He thoughtlessly twirled a strand of Alexâs hair in his fingers as he wondered what his airman wanted to say, and how he would get rid of Max and Isobel before Alex changed his mind and realized heâd rather go talk to â
        âGot your text, Alex,â Max said, holding up his phone, looking from Alex to Michael and back again. âWhatâs up?â
        Michael frowned down at him. âYou called them, Private?â
        âI wanted to talk to all of you about something,â he said with a sigh as he stood, mindlessly swatting Michaelâs hands off his hair and ruffling it. âWell, actually, itâs â itâs more of a⊠request.â
        He looked at all of them, doing that cute thing where he took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if preparing himself. Michael always found it endearing, but as Alex caught his eyes and quickly looked away, he felt that small ball of tension in his stomach tighten slightly.
        Isobel raised a brow, her arms crossed. âWell, Manes? Spit it out.â
        âYeah, Alex,â Max said, âI mean, after everything youâve done for us, just name it.â
        âI want to tell Forrest the truth,â he said, and a pin-drop silence followed for several seconds.
        Maxâs brows furrowed slightly. âYou â uh â the truth?â
        âYou donât mean ââ
        âAll of it,â Alex nodded. âProject Shepherd, the Alighting, andâŠ.â
        âUs,â Michael finished, a hollow smirk tugging at his lips. He stepped back from the chair where Alex had been sitting only a moment ago, his lips pursed. And heâd thought Alex had wanted to come talk to him when actually all heâd wanted was permission. âTrouble in paradise?â
        Michael regretted the words as soon as they left his lips, but Alex didnât look insulted, only exhausted as he rubbed his face, sighing into his hands. It was only now that Michael noticed that the dark circles around the airmanâs eyes were more prominent than usual, his face thinner as if heâd been missing meals.
        Isobelâs voice, surprisingly, was soft when she asked, âHave things really gotten that bad?â
        Alexâs hands fell to his sides. âHe knows Iâm lying to him. I canât tell him heâs wrong, and I canât pretend heâs crazy for worrying. I â look, you can trust him. I think heâs realizing things on his own anyway, thereâs only so much you can hide when youâre asking the guy to do all this research. And he has been helpful, hasnât he?â
        Alex looked to Michael, as if assured that even the stubborn cowboy couldnât deny that. When Michael didnât respond, Alex stepped closer. âI know itâs a lot to ask, but ââ
        âNo,â Michael cut him off. âNo, Alex.â
        âBut, Guerin ââ
        âHeâs a Long!â
        âAnd Iâm a Manes!â Alex said desperately. âThat argument doesnât work anymore, Michael.â
        âThatâs different,â Michael insisted. This was so unfair. This was what Alex had wanted to talk about? This was why heâd finally texted Michael after weeks of strictly work-related back-and-forth? Michael felt angry. He wanted to hurt the airman, to take him by the shoulders and shake him and tell him to stop bringing Forrest deeper into his life, to drag him into the airstream with him, lock the door, and never let him leave. None of which he could actually do, so he would have to settle for keeping the historian out the only way he could.
        âWhyâs it different?â
Michael looked at him like he was crazy. Wasnât the answer to that obvious? âBecause I know you! I trust you!â
        Alex huffed like Michael was the one not listening. âAnd I trust him. Itâs the exact same thing, Michael.â
        Michael clenched his jaw. The exact same thing. Was Alex really saying that? That what Michael felt for him was what he felt for some other man heâd known for less than a year? He was just about to ask Alex that when the airman suddenly said â
        âYou almost lost Maria for keeping this a secret.â He huffed a sad chuckle. âDo you really want the same thing to happen to me?â
        When he didnât respond, Alexâs expression fell ever so slightly, but before Michael could process it, Alex turned to Max and Isobel. âAnd you? You feel the same way about this?â
        Max and Isobel looked to each other, sharing a silent conversation. Isobel nodded once to her brother, and with a hesitant glance at Michael, Max calmly said, âAlex, we trust you. If you really think Forrest deserves to know, and you know our secret will be safe with him, then,â he glanced at Michael again, âIsobel and I are okay with it. Really.â
        Alex didnât look any more pleased or relieved. He turned to Michael with almost cold resignation. âBut youâre not.â
        Michael shrugged a shoulder, the simple gesture leaving him empty. âThis goes sideways, itâs not just your family thatâs done the damage, Alex. Itâll be on you.â A look of hurt flashed in Alexâs face, but it was gone as quickly as it came. The words created a bitter taste in Michaelâs mouth.
        âOh come on, Michael,â Isobel argued. âYou said it yourself, we know Alex.â
        âYeah, we do. And he doesnât always make the right call. I think this is one of the wrong ones.â
        âMichael ââ Max tried.
âBut hey, two out of three.â He smirked. âYou have their blessing. That should be good enough, right?â
Without waiting for Alexâs response, Michael turned back to his airstream and slammed the door behind him. He waited silently until Alex, Max, and Isobel left, then he grabbed his phone off the counter, and unlocked the screen to Alexâs message that was left open.
Can we talk? I want to tell you something.
His grip tightened on his phone. âAlex,â he muttered, sitting on the edge of his bed with Alexâs words still in front of him. âAlex.â
        Michael imagined him rushing over to Forrest, happy to just have Max and Isobelâs okay. Michaelâs opinion didnât matter to him. All that mattered was Forrest. And there was nothing Michael could do to change that.
        *
        Michael hesitated outside the bunker. Since yesterday, heâd been bracing himself for questions, for Forrest to look at him as if he was either the most frightening creature heâd ever seen, or the most fascinating one. Either way, it would mean someone that Alex had trusted enough to tell, someone that was now part of Alexâs life in a way almost impossible to remove.
        Michael had dared to hope that with Forrest on the outside, there was a chance that he wouldnât last long, that Alex had never really let him in. Those hopes were dashed to nothing now.
        He took a deep breath, braced himself for the worst, and stepped into the bunker to find Alex and Forrest. Alex was seated at the head of the table, his chin rested on his palm as he looked over a file, with Forrest in the seat beside him, looking through his own history books.
        Forrest looked up as Michael came in, and without a word, casually went back to his work. Michael slowly took a seat across from him, glancing at Alex every so often, but the airman paid him no mind.
        Michael expected excitement or nerves, anger or even cold distance. But nothing happened. After about an hour, Forrest handed Alex a paper and said, âAll the research I could find on the crop history in Roswell in the 1970s.â Then, with a resigned air, as if he wasnât really expecting an answer, he asked, âAnd you needed these becauseâŠ?â
        Alex sighed, and plastered a smile that Michael didnât believe for a second. âAir Force business. Shady ops, I have to know what they were doing in that area. I â I mean, I know itâs hard and risky, and you donât have to help me look into the stuff ââ
        âNo, I,â Forrest plastered on the same smile, except that even Michael couldnât deny it was slightly more genuine. He reached out and touched Alexâs jaw. âWhere you go, I go, Cap.â He stood. âIâm â uh â Iâm gonna go get us some food. You hungry?â
        Alex nodded, and Forrest kissed his forehead before turning to leave. After the door closed, Michael looked to Alex whoâd returned to his files.
        âYou didnât tell him,â he said.
        âNo,â Alex sighed. âI didnât.â
        âWhy not?â
        Alex shrugged, smiling wearily. âIt wasnât good enough.â
        Michael watched as he worked, his heart hammering in his chest. He reached out slowly and squeezed Alexâs hand on the table, thinking for the first time since yesterday that maybe there really was hope for them. Then Alex carefully withdrew his hand, awkwardly patted Michaelâs, and stood.
        âI forgot a few papers in my car,â he said. âIâm going to go get them.â
        âO â okay,â Michael said, watching him head towards the door, his hand still cold from where Alex had let him go. When Alex closed the door behind him, Michael couldnât help but wonder about the last time Alex had slept or really eaten.
        Then he wondered whether his hope to have Alex again, his desire to keep the airman with him, was what Alex wanted at all. Whether or not Michaelâs hope was slowly killing him.
